Opis

America's Soluble Problems, while recognising the many successes of the US economy, analyses its well known problems with a fresh new approach. Are slow growth, stagnant living standards for many, increasing poverty for those worst off, the hollowing out of much US manufacturing, balance of payments and fiscal deficits, all inevitable? America's Soluble Problems argues that they are not, and that entirely achievable changes in macro - economic policy could transform the prospects for the US economy and for most American citizens.

Recenzje

'Analysing the performance of the American economy over recent years, he demonstrates the damage done by allowing the exchange rate to become overvalued, pricing exporters out of world markets and domestic producers out of home markets. Although this latest book from Mills focuses on America, it still includes background discussion on economic issues that have a far more general relevance.' - Camden New Journal
