ISBN: 9781859844830 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) A sustained period of significant growth in the US, however, seemed to save the day against all the odds. So impressive was the surface appearance of this rescue mission that all manner of commentators proclaimed once again that a new economy or new paradigm of unlimited and harmonious growth had been forged.

In this crisp and forensic book, Robert Brenner demonstrates that the boom was... A sustained period of significant growth in the US, however, seemed to save the day against all the odds.
