Guide to U.S. Economic Policy shows students and researchers how
issues and actions are translated into public policies for
resolving economic problems (like the Great Recession) or managing
economic conflict (like the left-right ideological split over the
role of government regulation in markets). Taking an
interdisciplinary approach, the guide highlights decision-making
cycles requiring the cooperation of government, business, and an
informed citizenry to achieve a comprehensive approach to a
successful, growth-oriented economic policy. Through 30 topical,
operational, and relational essays, the book addresses the
development of U.S. economic policies from the colonial period to
today; the federal agencies and public and private organizations
that influence and administer economic policies; the challenges of
balancing economic development with environmental and social goals;
and the role of the U.S. in international organizations such as the
IMF and WTO. Key Features: 30 essays by experts in the field
investigate the fundamental economic, political, social, and
process initiatives that drive policy decisions affecting the
nation's economic stability and success. Essential themes traced
throughout the chapters include scarcity, wealth creation, theories
of economic growth and macroeconomic management, controlling
inflation and unemployment, poverty, the role of government
agencies and regulations to police markets, Congress vs. the
president, investment policies, economic indicators, the balance of
trade, and the immediate and long-term costs associated with
economic policy alternatives. A glossary of key economic terms and
events, a summary of bureaus and agencies charged with economic
policy decisions, a master bibliography, and a thorough index
appear at the back of the book.
