Washington, DC - Imagine living in North Korea or Cuba, where 90% of your earnings are taxed to pay for luxurious presidential palaces and lavish parties while you barely survive. How much a government takes from its citizens, and what that money is spent on, makes up a country’s economic policy. How has the United States determined its own economic policy through history? How has that changing policy through the years affected our standard of living? The new Guide to U.S. Economic Policy, published by CQ Press, answers these questions.

Are those types of soldiers really active in our world—or are they just a product of popular culture’s imagination?

Washington, DC - What was it like for George Washington to be the very first president of the United States? Now, in our completely different world, does President Obama’s job have any similarities to President Washington’s at all?
