New York, NY: Basic Books, 1980. First Edition, 2nd Printing . Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. Text/NEW & Bright. Vintage 1980, First Edition, 2nd Printing. Gilt embossed, charcoal linen boards/Fine. DJ/Fine. PO name to front endpaper. Socio-economics. Classic analysis of US economic policies --- addressing slow growth, declining productivity, energy shortages, over-regulationi, chronic inflation of the 1970s --- all still relevant today. Lester Carl Thurow (1938 - 2016), American political economist, Dean of the MIT Sloan School of Management, and advisor to George McGovern's 1972 bid for presidency, forwards income redistribution as a major issue. Thurow argues the nation's economic problems stem from America's inability to decide whose income ought rightly to increase versus whose ought justifiably to decline, and, ought winners compensate losers? In short, how to divide up the one pie? 230 pgs in 8 chapters: 1, An Economy That No Longer Performs; 2, Energy; 3. Inflation; 4, Slow Economic Growth; 5, Environmental Problems; 6, Spreading Rules & Regulations; 7, Direct Redistributional Issues; and 8, Solving the Economic Problems of the 1980s.
