Phelps investigates the on-the-ground implementation of President Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty during the 1960s and 1970s and argues that the fluid interaction between federal policies, urban politics, and grassroots activists created a significant site of conflict over the meaning of American democracy.

Texas Tomorrow presents a blueprint for growing the Texas economy resulting in a higher quality of life for its citizens. It promotes innovative and creative ideas to prioritize state spending, stabilizing the states taxing and regulatory programs, incentivizing the job creators and calls for true public school reform. The blueprint also shows us that there are alternatives to higher taxes and deeper spending cuts that rob our citizens of their ability to live, work and prosper. And finally it calls for the legislature to take bold steps to rein in spending, encourage economic development and for it to take a real leadership role as Texas transforms itself into a 21st century state.
