A Plan to Revive the American Economy
With grim economic news coming from many directions, it's easy to
get discouraged about our ability to repair the damage of years of
failed economic policies. And yet, there are pragmatic solutions to
our biggest challenges, including ways to restore health care and
retirement security, to create family-supporting jobs, and to
reestablish a leadership role in the global economy. Collaborating
with some of the nation's top progressive thinkers, EPI researchers
have been exploring and refining solutions for the better part of
two years. Now, just in time for national debates on economic
direction, EPI has compiled the best of these proposals into a
small, easy-to-read Policy Handbook called A Plan to Revive the
American Economy.
