The Great American Jobs Scam: Corporate Tax Dodging and the Myth of Job Creation Greg Leroy 
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars Rank: 4645 (Iowa City, IA) July 17, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars I hope the people who really need to read this book do read it--the state legislators and local officials who have been seduced by the arguments of the "job scammers," as Greg LeRoy calls them. As an academic economist who has been researching state economic development policy for many years, I know how hard it is to get the attention of policy makers and convince them they are wasting vast sums of tax money on corporate incentives, and in the process harming, not helping, their state's long term growth. I think Greg LeRoy has written the book that can cut through the nonsense in this debate and actually make a difference. Its readable, its colorful, its compelling, yet at the same time it is based on exhaustive, careful research. Here is finally the documentation for what many of us suspected has really been going on in the "incentive wars." My advice: buy a few extra copies and send them to your state representative or city council member. Then call them up a month later and ask them how they liked it.
