He points out that for every $1 that comes into the area from a casino, $3 goes out in unforseen economic costs. Casinos are not sustainable economic development.

This book, assigned by my political science professor as the best book on Medicare, is a welcome counterexample to that generalization. Jonathan Oberlander covers the political history of ...
