"The underexamined art and science of managing the federal
government's huge debt. Everyone talks about the size of the U.S.
national debt, now at $13 trillion and climbing, but few talk about
how the U.S. Treasury does the borrowing-even though it is one of
the world's largest borrowers. Everyone from bond traders to the
home-buying public is affected by the Treasury's decisions about
whether to borrow short or long term and what types of bonds to
sell to investors. What is the best way for the Treasury to finance
the government's huge debt? Harvard's Robin Greenwood, Sam Hanson,
Joshua Rudolph, and Larry Summers argue that the Treasury could
save taxpayers money and help the economy by borrowing more short
term and less long term. They also argue that the Treasury and the
Federal Reserve made a huge mistake in recent years by rowing in
opposite directions: while the Fed was buying long-term bonds to
push investors into other assets, the Treasury was doing the
opposite-selling investors more long-term bonds. This book includes
responses from a variety of public and private sector experts on
how the Treasury does its borrowing, some of whom have criticized
the way the Treasury has been managing its borrowing. "
