What accounts for the state's economic \nsuccess? And does it come at a price to be paid in the future? \u003cem\u003eTen-Gallon \nEconomy\u003c\/em\u003e features new research on regional economic growth and some \nsurprising findings on Texas' unique tax and banking institutions, booming \nenergy and export sectors, vibrant labor market, expanding demographics and \nhuman capital, and growing border economy. Texas has a dynamic economy, large \nyet flexible, but it is still subject to the booms and busts of the energy \nsector, which exercises an outsized influence. Taxes are low but regressive \nrelative to national benchmarks, which fuels growth but can inhibit investment \nin education and health. Meanwhile, Texas, as one of only five minority-majority \nstates, is poised to reap a big demographic dividend if it invests wisely in the \ncoming generation of mostly Latino workers. Taken together, the chapters in this \nvolume provide unique insight into the economy of the nation's second-largest \nstate, laying out some of the choices facing policymakers charged with \nsafeguarding the Texas growth premium for future generations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-09-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137530165\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9781137530172\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 248\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47680000032908,"sku":"9781137530165","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137530165.jpg?v=1776574694","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137530165","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
