"In recent years, workers earnings have hardly grown, violence and
crime have plagued the inner cities, homelessness and public
begging have become commonplace, and family life has greatly
deteriorated. With governments facing large deficits and slowly
growing revenues, and public distrust in the efficiency of
government and elected officials at all-time highs, the authors
ask, ""What can government do for you?"" This book brings together
a prominent group of experts to answer this critical question.
Edited by Henry Aaron and Charles L. Schultze, two of the nation's
most noted and experienced economists, the book focuses on the
crucial domestic and social issues confronting America today. Seven
vital areas are discussed by the following contributors: Henry
Aaron on health care; Gordon L Berlin and William McAllister on
homelessness; Linda R Cohen and Roger G. Noll on research and
development; John J. DiIulio, Jr., on crime; Frank Levy and Richard
J. Murnane on education and training; Isabel V. Sawhill on children
and families; and Clifford M. Winston and Barry P. Bosworth on
infrastructure. In each problem area, the authors use the results
of research and analysis to identify existing or proposed
governmental interventions that are likely to work, as well as some
that are likely to fail and some that need to be reformed. They
then present a budget proposal that not only pays for suggested
changes in domestic policy, but brings the budget into virtual
balance in ten years. "
