In this sequel to their Beyond the Waste Land ( LJ 9/1/83), the authors--noted economists of the American left--write that the American economy has been in decline since the mid-1960s and that only a truly democratic economic system can reverse this trend. They suggest that key policies should end the wasting of resources that burdens the economy, and they outline a plan for improving productivity, growth, full employment, and economic justice. Presenting their evidence very effectively, the authors offer a critique of Reaganomics that makes this book, like its predecessor, an important acquisition for any library.-- Richard C. Schiming, Mankato State Univ., Minn.Booknews
Three economics professors update, revise, and expand their 1983 Beyond the waste land; a democratic alternative to economic decline. They perceive that the state of both the economy and democracy are in a tailspin, locked inexorably together. But contrary to all available evidence, they believe that a grassronts movement can still make it right. Also available in paper (unseen), $15.95. Annotation c.
