Sam Brownback was the first modern-day conservative to be elected governor of Kansas, the culmination of a rightward shift in the state's often-dominant Republican Party. This book is a detailed case study of the policies implemented over his two terms as governor, paying particular attention to the impact on state government and services, the economy, public education, and the business environment. The authors provide extensive background, historical evidence, and detailed references. The book's real-world relevance is grounded in a discussion of similar policies in other states as well as the US federal government.

The authors combine a concise summary of supply-side economics with a detailed study of Governor Sam Brownback’s Kansas economic “experiment” to provide a clear-headed assessment of the roots and implications of this major policy change. While Kansas is just a single state, national editorialists and reporters have noted that it provides the clearest test of supply-side economics policies and the claims that lower taxes would lead to enhanced economic growth. With clear writing and straightforward analysis, “Low Taxes, Small Government” offers on-the-ground political and economic insights within the narrative of a cautionary tale.
