In The New American Economy, Bartlett goes back to the economic roots that made Impostor a bestseller and abandons the conservative dogma in favor of a policy strongly based on what's worked in the past. Marshalling compelling history and economics, he explains how economic...

Throughout our history Americans have embraced the myth that our national debt is immoral and destructive.This deeply rooted belief goes back to our Founding Fathers: Jefferson excoriated debt as "the greatest of dangers to be feared." Andrew Jackson demonized debt as "a national curse." Current political leaders continue to endorse this negative view of our national debt. Obama said that incurring debt was "irresponsible" and "unpatriotic." John...

Many cities have struggled with the decline of key industries, from Philadelphia's shipyards to New York's textile industry, but Detroit-which is now in bankruptcy-is both a victim of the decline of the Michigan automobile industry and a cause of it. A city with a history of civil disorder-it is the only American city occupied on three separate occasions by federal troops-its poisonous blend of race-based politics and union domination has left it...

Obviously the World is in a financial instability and the macroeconomic management of some countries appears inappropriate. This seems to be the continuation of the subprime crisis (crisis of mortgages at risk) which began in 2007 in the USA. Many solutions have been tried in U.K, first by Mr. Gordon Brown:
1 – Nationalization (Northern...

En los últimos años, las ciencias de la complejidad, con sus teorías, conceptos y categorías, han desafiado las explicaciones tradicionales sobre los fenómenos del desarrollo económico y social. Para ello, se han alejado de los enfoques lineales de causalidad y, por el contrario, han enfatizado las características de la incertidumbre y de los eventos emergentes a partir de la interacción de actores. La obra examina el concepto de valor público...

De los planteamientos de la teoría de la complejidad, aprendemos que los ejercicios de la gestión y las políticas públicas deben reconocer y promover, a través de mejores diseños, la capacidad de autodirección de los agentes y las organizaciones, superando la tradicional práctica de predefinir desde la cúspide y desde el centro predeterminadas metas a través de predefinidas rutas. No menos trascendental es reconocer en toda intervención...

As the new century unfolds, we face a host of economic and social challenges--jobs lost to "off shoring," a huge and growing number of Americans without health insurance coverage, an expanding gap between rich and poor, stagnant wages, decaying public schools, and many others. These are difficult and complex problems, but our government's strategy for dealing with them has been essentially not to deal with them at all. Over and over, in subtle and...

It is not in the US interest to adopt tax and regulatory policies that would discourage global engagement by US multinational corporations (MNCs). Research presented in this book shows that the expansion of foreign affiliates of US MNCs is positively associated with more production, greater employment, higher exports, and more research and development (R&D) in the United States. These findings suggest that less investment abroad by US firms would...

Corporate Europe goes beyond the divisions between nation-states, focusing instead on the division between the corporate elite and the peoples of Europe.
