Ingram Publishing: Texas Got It Right! (Paperback Book)

“It ain’t bragging if it’s true.” – a rodeo bull rider. Wondering why jobs are moving from California to Texas? Why the best minds are leaving Chicago and Detroit for Austin, Houston, and Dallas? In 2012, Texas gained four congressmen while states like Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, and Illinois lost them. Texas is booming while other big US states are stagnant or in debt. Sam and Andrew Wyly say it's simple: Texas got it right! Texas' tradition of taking the less - traveled path has made it an innovation hub. It's the birthplace of Whole Foods, Southwest Airlines, and Green Mountain Energy. In the past decade, its innovation has quadrupled US natural gas and oil reserves, creating jobs at home and abroad. The most military - friendly state is also leading in high - tech windmill use, reducing the likelihood of oil - related wars. The Wylys' new full - color, fully illustrated book, 'Texas Got It Right!', shows that Texas' success can inspire the rest of the country. It's a smart and thought - provoking look at Texas' policies, history, and culture, with ideas that other states could benefit from.
