Bush Institute Launches Economic Growth Book

DALLAS (AP) - The George W. Bush Institute is launching its first book, which features experts weighing in on ways for the U.S. to jumpstart the economy toward 4 percent gross domestic product growth.

The former president writes the foreword for "The 4 Percent Solution: Unleashing the Economic Growth America Needs," to be released Tuesday. He is set to give brief remarks at an event Tuesday evening in Dallas featuring several contributors to the book.

James K. Glassman, executive director of the Bush Institute, says the book -- which includes entries by five Nobel Prize winners -- is part of "The 4 Percent Growth Project" launched last year with a goal to "change the conversation in America so that it focuses on the goal of sustainable, strong growth."
