Editorial Reviews

Political scientist Mackenzie and economist Thornton tackle the deficit with a sweeping history of American politics and economics. They outline the development of economic theory in relation to government and market economies; tour through American history, looking at the progressives and populists and on through the post World War II era; examine fiscal, monetary macroeconomic and trade policies; the US deficit "monster"; and conclude with a speculation on possible scenarios of the future of American economics.
