About this title

Synopsis

Surveys the U.S. economy, discusses issues, concepts, and trends, and includes information on American business, labor, taxes, productivity, debt, and the deficit

Reviews

As a monster Federal deficit haunts the U.S. economy, and business expansion under a new tax structure stirs fears of another inflation, economist Hamrin (Managing Growth in the Eighties) undertakes to sort things out. Exploring specific categorieseconomic growth, taxation, inflation, productivity, the deficit, wealth, poverty, etc.he poses a series of questions ("Have taxes really come down in the 1980s?") accompanied by charts and tables; lists "the facts" (e.g., 40% of income-tax revenue goes to pay interest on the national debt); and cites experts' often-conflicting answers and interpretations. The study is a multidimensional grid of forces and theories, a minute analysis of our empirically evolved situation. Looking to the future, Hamrin describes current trends toward restructured entrepreneurial industry, with greater employee participation leading to improved product quality and a better trade picture, and postulates future electronic living standards still economically problematical and difficult to envision.

Writing in a breezy, informal style, economist Hamrin provides an objective overview of problems facing the U.S. economy. After describing the big picture, he treats important issuese.g., inflation, taxes, poverty deregulation, automation, and unionsin 26 brief chapters, concluding with lists of the economy's strengths and weaknesses, key people, publications, and institutions. Besides introducing questions, Hamrin gives basic economic facts and presents interpretations of data from different viewpoints. Unfortunately, he does not give precise sources of most information supplied. Nevertheless, his survey is useful for public and high school libraries. Leonard Grundt, Nassau Community Coll.

Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
