About this title

Review:

"A breakthough in the political debate over the New Economy. This is the first book that lays out a progressive economic policy designed to encourage technology-driven growth, while ameliorating bad consequences such as a widening income disparity and excessive dependence on a volatile stock market."--Michael J. Mandel, "Business Week"

From the Back Cover:

""Growing Prosperity "could well be as important in shaping our future as Keynes' "General Theory." . . . A work as meticulous as it is powerful, as promising as it is persuasive."--Robert Heilbroner, author of "The Worldly Philosophers"

"Bluestone and Harrison have alerted us to the key issue confronting America: how to achieve growth with equity. This country needs a powerful dialogue on how to continue growth while deepening its benefits to all Americans. This is the blueprint for the terms of that debate."--U.S. Representative Richard Gephardt
