California is at a tipping point. Severe budget deficits,
unsustainable pension costs, heavy taxes, cumbersome regulation,
struggling cities, and distressed public schools are but a few of
the challenges that policymakers must address for the state to
remain a beacon of business innovation and economic opportunity.
City Journal has for years been cataloging the political and
economic issues of our nation's largest metropolitan areas, and in
this collection compiled and introduced by City Journal editor
Brian C. Anderson, the cracks in California's flawed policy plans
are displayed in detail, and analyzed by a diverse set of experts
in the state's design. The list of contributors includes: Steven
Malanga, William Voegeli, Joel Kotkin, Wendell Cox, Arthur B.
Laffer, Steven Greenhut, Victor Davis Hanson, Heather Mac Donald,
John Buntin, Ben Boychuk, Tom Gray, Andrew Klavan, Troy Senik,
Larry Sand, Michael Anton, and Guy Sorman. While there is plenty of
literature on California's history, topography, and attractions,
The Beholden State: California's Lost Promise and How to Recapture
It is the first book examining in rigorous detail how a place seen
just a generation ago as the dynamic engine of the American future
could, through bad policy ideas, find itself with among the highest
unemployment rates and poorest educational outcomes in the country.
The book is as thoroughly analytical as it is pragmatically
proscriptive, complete with policy solutions mapping the way
forward for a struggling state.
