The United States in the Changing Global Economy: Policy Implications and Issues

by George Macesich

Overview

Accelerating globalization of world markets and increasing interdependence of the economies of the world has made policy-making very complex, especially in the United States. One of the most debated subjects in recent years has been whether the U.S. is capable of simultaneously dealing with serious domestic challenges and economic challenges from the rest of the world. It is becoming more important for the generalist in economics, political science, business, and other areas to understand the issues confronting the American economy in relation to rapid global economic change.

Editorial Reviews

Macesich (economics, Florida State U.) explains to general economists, political scientists, and lay readers the issues confronting makers of US economic policy caught between increasing global competition and domestic pressure from economic instability, unemployment, wage stagnation, declining schools, the government's rising international debt, and general discontent among the American people. He describes a much more complicated situation than a choice of loyalties between people who fund campaigns and those who vote. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
