Description

Lester C. Thurow (au). As relevant today as when it was originally pub. in 1980, this book by Thurow, prof. of mgmt. & econ. at MIT for more than 30 years, shows us how to think about the best way to balance gov’t. stewardship of the economy with the free market aspirations of upwardly mobile Amer. Interpreting macroecon. as a zero-sum game, Thurow proposes that the Amer. economy will not solve its trenchant problems -- inflation, slow econ. growth, the environment -- until the political economy can support, in theory & practice, the idea that certain members of society will have to bear the brunt of taxation & other gov’t.-sponsored econ. actions. A piercing analysis of the social implications of econ. policy & a classic work of econ. problem solving.
