Product Information

Texas may well be America's most controversial state. Evangelicals dominate the halls of power, millions of its people live in poverty, and its death row is the busiest in the country. Skeptical outsiders have found much to be offended by in the state's politics and attitude. And yet, according to journalist (and Texan) Erica Grieder, the United States has a great deal to learn from Texas. In Big, Hot, Cheap, and Right , Grieder traces the political history of a state that was always larger than life. From its rowdy beginnings, Texas has combined a long-standing suspicion of government intrusion with a passion for business. Looking to the present, Greider assesses the unique mix of policies on issues like immigration, debt, taxes, regulation, and energy, which together have sparked a bonafide Texas Miracle of job growth. While acknowledging that it still has plenty of twenty-first-century problems to face,she finds in Texas a model of governance whose power has been drastically underestimated. Her book is a fascinating exploration of America's underrated powerhouse.

Reviews
Chris Hayes, MSNBC Host and author of Twilight of the Elites "Thirty years from now there's a good chance that most of America will look like Texas and somehow, improbably, using some strange dark prose magic, Erica Grieder has managed to convince me that might actually not be so bad. Written with verve and nuance, this is a fascinating, provocative read. If there were a book like this for each state I'd read every one." Bill Bishop, co-author of The Big Sort: Why The Clustering of Like-Minded America is Tearing Us Apart "Texas isn't the uninhabitable right wing bully East Coast howlers imagine and it's not the open range paradise described by free market myth-makers. Erica Grieder describes the state as it is - a place shaped (and misshapen) by its past and by the entirely human characters who live there. She is a sure-footed guide, pointing out what is to be admired and warning when we had best watch our step.", Chris Hayes, MSNBC Host and author of Twilight of the Elites "Thirty years from now there''s a good chance that most of America will look like Texas and somehow, improbably, using some strange dark prose magic, Erica Grieder has managed to convince me that might actually not be so bad.

She is a sure-footed guide, pointing out what is to be admired and warning when we had best watch our step." Publishers Weekly "Journalist Grieder pens a primer on Texas that is serious and lighthearted in turn. She might as well have referred to the 'strange genesis' of Texas in her subtitle, as she runs through historical highlights and lowlights from the state's beginnings to explain its present. Grieder's account includes notably bizarre episodes, including the 1951 election in which both the governor and the state attorney general ran on both Democratic and Republican tickets, with the Democratic incarnations of each pulling easy victories.... Anyone curious about or proud of Texas will find something of interest, as will readers of current politics." Kirkus R eviews "In this brisk and sassy counterweight to recent book-length complaints about Texas, Grieder challenges common prejudices about the state and insists that Texas is a better place than people expect... [Grieder] delivers an extensive, perceptive analysis of the state's politics--how it turned Republican in the 1990s and the prospects for a growing Hispanic population to bring it back into the Democratic column.... Due to the fact that Texas is thriving while much of America struggles, it might be wise to consider what Texas is doing right."

Anyone curious about or proud of Texas will find something of interest, as will readers of current politics." Bryan Burrough, New York Times "Ms. Grieder's is the rare book that takes stock of the Texas model without ridiculing many of its traditions and politicians...This is a good book, and Ms. Grieder's clear, vivid writing makes it downable in a single afternoon.... This is a promising debut from a promising young author." Texas Observer "An astute observer of this state's contradictions, and she avoids the caricature and cliché that plague so many books about Texas by non-Texans. Her forays into Texas history to explain the state's myriad oddities are useful." Austin Chronicle "Grieder takes on so much in this book that maybe its subtitle - 'What America Can Learn From the Strange Genius of Texas' - should be expanded to include Texans as well.
