Synopsis

In The New Golden Age, bestselling author and economist Ravi Batra identifies the roadblocks to economic prosperity--and what we need to do to overcome them. Bringing the same insight and expertise that made books like The Downfall of Capitalism and Communism international bestsellers, Batra takes on falling minimum wages, corporate scandals, rocketing oil prices, and many of the other crises facing the world economy. He also offers an expansive, optimistic vision of how the international community can address them and bring about something historically unprecedented: true global economic prosperity.

Review:

“Dr. Batra vividly portrays the way in which public disgust for corruption, both corporate and federal, is becoming a serious force for political change.” ―Dr. W. Curtiss Priest, Director, Center for Information, Technology, & Society, MIT

“The most thoroughgoing assault on the Maestro's legacy so far.” ―Cecil Johnson, Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Greenspan's Fraud
