Overview
America's Soluble Problems, while recognizing the many successes of the US economy, analyzes its well-known problems with a fresh new approach. Are slow growth, stagnant living standards for many, increasing poverty for the worst off, the hollowing out of much US manufacturing, balance of payments and fiscal deficits, all inevitable? This book argues that they are not, and that entirely achievable changes in macro-economic policy could transform the prospects for the US economy and for most American citizens.Editorials

The author of and argues that the US economy, despite many successes by global standards over the past 25 years, has not lived up to its potential. Mills traces the present wage stagnation and escalating national debt to monetarist era macroeconomic policies that can be re-routed for an even rosier economic future. Annotation c.
