The U.S. had long prided itself on the values of the Founders--freedom, democracy, rights, justice. After 1940, with the rise of the economics profession, national income accounting, and the Cold War, the measure of American greatness changed: The U.S. was the world's most prosperous society, its dynamic economic was growing, and living standards were rising, and all of these were statistically measurable. This book examines how this measure of America changed in political discourse, education, Cold War propaganda, business journalism, and popular beliefs.
Federal debt now exceeds $20 trillion, with $1 trillion in deficits added in just the last year. Why is this happening and what does it mean? What kind of future are we bequeathing to future generations? What can be done about America's fiscal irresponsibility.
