Overview

In Designing US Economic Policy, W. Robert Brazelton analyzes the Second World War. As the world struggled to recover from the massive wartime expenditure, it was essential that economic policy not repeat the mistakes of the prewar era that sparked the new 1930s Depression. These new policies included Truman's New Deal, which helped shape both the economic and social climate of the US today.

Brazelton (economics, University of Missouri, Kansas City) traces Keyserling's career as Truman's economic advisor and in so doing analyzes the development of American economic policy in the period following World War II. The study detects the influence of Truman's<- ->and Keyserling's<-->policies both around the world and in successive presidential administrations. Appendixes outline the concept of economic growth, present a chronology and biographical references, and list related articles and publications by Keyserling. Annotation c.
