À propos de ce produit

Product Information

A "provocative" ( Kirkus Reviews ), timely, and topical work that examines what's good for American business and what's good for Americans--and why those interests are misaligned. In American Amnesia , bestselling political scientists Jacob S. Hacker and Paul Pierson trace the economic and political history of the United States over the last century and show how a viable mixed economy has long been the dominant engine of America's prosperity. We have largely forgotten this reliance, as many political circles and corporate actors have come to mistakenly see government as a hindrance rather than the propeller it once was. "American Amnesia" is more than a rhetorical phrase; elites have literally forgotten, or at least forgotten to talk about, the essential role of public authority in achieving big positive-sum bargains in advanced societies. The mixed economy was the most important social innovation of the twentieth century. It spread a previously unimaginable level of broad prosperity. It enabled steep increases in education, health, longevity, and economic security. And yet, extraordinarily, it is anathema to many current economic and political elites. Looking at this record of remarkable accomplishment, they recoil in horror. And as the advocates of anti-government free market fundamentalist have gained power, they are hell-bent on scrapping the instrument of nearly a century of unprecedented economic and social progress. In the American Amnesia , Hacker and Pierson explain the full "story of how government helped make America great, how the enthusiasm for bashing government is behind its current malaise, and how a return to effective government is the answer the nation is looking for" ( The New York Times ).

If you are curious about why our infrastructure, our roads and bridges and water systems, is falling apart--then read American Amnesia . Curious about why the U.S. spends almost 18 percent of our GDP on medical care, but has health outcomes that are at levels of many developing countries--then read American Amnesia ."-- Inside Higher Ed, Progress and prosperity in the United States, they demonstrate, have rested in no small measure on a constructive relationship between an effective public authority and dynamic private markets. We are now paying a terrible price for "forgetting this essential truth." --The Philadelphia Inquirer, If you are curious about why our infrastructure, our roads and bridges and water systems, is falling apart-then read American Amnesia . Curious about why the U.S. spends almost 18 percent of our GDP on medical care, but has health outcomes that are at levels of many developing countries-then read American Amnesia ."- Inside Higher Ed, In this lively,engaging, and persuasive book, Hacker and Pierson explain how much of our health and prosperity rests on what governments have done. American Amnesia will help slow the intellectual pendulum that is currently swinging towards ananarchic libertarianism that threatens more than a century of American progress." --Angus Deaton, winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics in 2015, American Amnesia  provides chapter and verse on why the public has good reason to be angry..." -- The New York Times, "This is a fascinating and much-needed book. America once invented universal public education and sharply progressive taxation of income and inherited wealth, and has shown to the world that strong government and efficient markets are complementary--not substitutes. But since 1980 a new wave of anti-governmentideology has prospered, and is about to make America more unequal andplutocratic than Europe on the eve of World War I. If you want to understandwhy this great amnesia occurred, and how it can be reversed, read this book!"-- Thomas Piketty, author of Capital in the Twenty-First Century, American Amnesia provides chapter and verse on why the public has good reason to be angry..." -- The New York Times, "This is a fascinating and much-needed book.
