...project--at first glance the book seems to hold no ethical or political point of view. Wilson steers clear of rhetoric. When discussing a potentially controversial subject such as religious belief, he neither defends the value of faith nor criticizes its conflict with scientific evidence.

What he said he would do is stimulate the private sector through cutting taxes, simplifying the regulatory morass and controlling the growth of Government spending.

Conditions have actually worsened in the last few months before the election: Manley depleted almost all of Jamaica's remaining foreign reserves to stock the store shelves and give the temporary, but artificial, impression that the economy had improved. Foreign capital, properly regulated, can provide prosperity and well being for the masses, as has been proved in Singapore, Taiwan, and Korea. Oil imports...
