In this valuable resource, more than thirty of the world's top
economists offer innovative policy ideas and insightful commentary
on our most pressing economic issues, such as global warming, the
global economy, government spending, Social Security, tax reform,
real estate, and political and social policy, including an
extensive look at the economics of capital punishment, welfare
reform, and the recent presidential elections.
Contributors are Nobel Prize winners, former presidential
advisers, well-respected columnists, academics, and practitioners
from across the political spectrum. Joseph E. Stiglitz takes a hard
look at the high cost of the Iraq War; Nobel Laureates Kenneth
Arrow, Thomas Schelling, and Stiglitz provide insight and advice on
global warming; Paul Krugman demystifies Social Security; Bradford
DeLong presents divergent views on the coming dollar crisis; Diana
Farrell reconsiders the impact of U.S. offshoring; Michael J.
Boskin distinguishes what is "sense" and what is "nonsense" in
discussions of federal deficits and debt; and Ronald I. McKinnon
points out the consequences of the deindustrialization of
America.
Additional essays question whether welfare reform was successful
and explore the economic consequences of global warming and the
rebuilding of New Orleans. They describe how a simple switch in
auto insurance policy could benefit the environment; unravel the
dangers of an unchecked housing bubble; and investigate the
mishandling of the lending institutions Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
Balancing empirical data with economic theory, "The Economists'
Voice" proves that the unique perspective of the economist is a
vital one for understanding today's world.
