Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The US Economy Faced The Prospect Of A Serious recession even prior to the September 11 terrorist attacks. The affilictions that had deepened under both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush--wage stagnation, rising inequality, wildly inflated stock markets--sharpened further. The highly unstable conditions that Clinton Handed Bush were hardly noticed amid the near-universal praise for the economic stewardship of Clinton and his supposed policy maestro, Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan. Contours of Descent reveals how these variants of neo-liberal economics, which lavish favors on multinationals and capitalists while allowing living standards for ordinary people to fall, operate in the US and less developed countries, and explores policies for economic growth with increased equality. Synopsis:The concepts of modernity and modernism are among the most controversial and vigorously debated in contemporary philosophy and cultural theory. In this new, muscular intervention, Pollin explores these notions in a fresh and illuminating manner. Synopsis:Partisans on both sides can benefit from this analysis.
