The Other Half of Macroeconomics and the Fate of Globalization
The Other Half of Macroeconomics and the Fate of Globalization presents a totally new approach to macroeconomics that offers a solution to the challenges of stagnation and worsening inequality that trouble so many advanced countries.
Since the Great Recession of 2008, most of the developed world has been mired in stagnation. The repeated failures of central banks and governments to meet inflation or growth targets, despite truly exorbitant levels of monetary accommodation, have left the public justifiably suspicious of the establishment and its economists.
The Other Half of Macroeconomics elucidates what was missing in economics all along and what changes are needed to make the profession relevant to the economic challenges of today.
In it, author Richard C. Koo, a leading economist and creator of the concept of balance sheet recessions – which triggered the current focus on debt in global policy debate – introduces the insightful new concept of pursued economies.
This concept shows that the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policy changes as an economy undergoes different stages of development. It also identifies the core drivers of the economic and political predicaments advanced nations face today and shows how these countries can move forward in the new global environment.
Explaining the 200-year process of economic development and where that process is taking all of us, Koo explores how it should be possible to devise appropriate policy response to slow wage and productivity growth in these economies and argues that tax rules, regulations and even educational system must be revised to match the need of pursued (by emerging nations) countries.
The Other Half of Macroeconomics will be available wherever books and ebooks are sold.
