The Zero-Sum Society: Distribution and the Possibilities for Economic Change
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Basic Books
- Publish date: 01/01/2001
Description:
Written during a period of acute economic stagnation in 1980, The Zero-Sum Society discusses the human implications of economic problem solving. Interpreting macroeconomics as a zero-sum game, Thurow proposes that the American economy will not solve its most trenchant problems -- inflation, slow economic growth, the environment -- until the political economy can support, in theory and in practice, the idea that certain members of society will have to bear the brunt of taxation and other government-sponsored economic actions.
Expand description
As relevant today as it was twenty years ago, The Zero-Sum Society offers a classic set of recommendations about the best way to balance government stewardship of the economy and the free-market aspirations of upwardly mobile Americans.
