Opis książki:
In this in-depth analysis, noted economics expert Gottfried Haberler provides a valuable overview of the subject of economic change in an easy-to-read format, and a powerful argument for policies preserving personal freedom while stimulating growth and stability. How and why is growth policy important To what extent can growth be influenced by monetary and fiscal policies in a modern and predominantly free-enterprise economy Is growth without inflation impossible The author analyzes all of these questions, and morę. He comments on the Nixon administrations Phase l-IV policies, monopolies, unions, and the threat of creeping inflation. He discusses the principles of macro- and microeconomics, business cycles, and international aspects, such as the tremendous contribution international trade has made toward growth. This book comes at an appropriate time, a time when our nations economic policies arę in serious question and the consumer is plagued by inflation. Economic Growth and Stability serves, in laymans language, to ciarify much of the problem.
