Description
"As relevant today as it was twenty years ago, The Zero-Sum Society shows us how to think about the best way to balance government stewardship of the economy with the free market aspirations of upwardly mobile Americans.". "Interpreting macroeconomics as a zero-sum game, Thurow proposes that the American economy will not solve its trenchant problems - inflation, slow economic growth, the environment - until the political economy can support, in theory and practice, the idea that certain members of society will have to bear the brunt of taxation and other government-sponsored economic actions. The Zero-Sum Society is a piercing analysis of the social implications of economic policy and a classic work of economic problem solving."--BOOK JACKET.
