Beginning in 1973, the American economy, though it continued to grow, grew far more slowly than it had on average since the Civil War. The most dramatic result of this slowdown is that we have produced $12 trillion less in goods and services over the last twenty years than we would have produced had we maintained our historic high rate of growth.....In this brilliantly clear, ""eye-opening"" book Jeffrey Madrick shows not only the consequences of our economic decline, but the great historic shift that caused it. .....before we can talk intelligently about deficits and federal spending we have to recognize where we are, and how we got there.""
