Designing US Economic Policy

In Designing US Economic Policy , W. Robert Brazelton analyzes the development of US economic policy in the aftermath of the Second World War. As the world struggled to recover from the massive wartime expenditure, it was essential that economic policy not repeat the mistakes of the prewar era which sparked the 1930s Depression. These policies included Truman's New Deal, which helped shape both the economic and social climate of the USA today.

'...an interesting study of a man who played a significant role in an earlier era in formulating macroeconomic policy. ' - Journal of Economic Issues
