Texas pride, like everything else in the state, is larger than
life. So, too, perhaps, are the state's challenges. Lone Star
Tarnished approaches public policy in the nation's most populous
"red state" from historical, comparative, and critical
perspectives. The historical perspective provides the scope for
asking how various policy domains have developed in Texas history.
In each chapter, Cal Jillson compares Texas public policy choices
and results with those of other states and the United States in
general. Finally, the critical perspective allows readers to
question the balance of benefits and costs attendant to what is
often referred to as "the Texas way" or "the Texas model" and to
assess the many claims of Texas's exceptionalism. Through Jillson's
lively and lucid prose, students are well equipped to analyse how
Texas has done and is doing compared to selected states and the
national average over time and today. This text is aimed at
students and professors of Texas politics who want to stress
history, political culture, and public policy. New to the Fourth
Edition Fully updated to include the most recent Texas elections
and political events Covers the 2019 legislative session Highlights
new population data, with projections forward to 2050, recently
released by the U.S. Census and the Texas State Data Center.
Explores the dramatic increases in Texas oil and gas production and
their impact on global and U.S. prices and on the profitability and
the viability of many Texas producers in light of the recent plunge
in prices. All figures and tables include the most recent data
available.
