Michael is a director of economic studies at a. I. And is widely published scholar in finance and many other areas. His new book is an exceptionally clear and broad overview of the state of an American Economic life. The actual conditions we face, the trends over recent decades, how those relate to the dark stories that we hear in our politics about the conditions americans have experienced and where our prospects are, he finds that things are much better than the mood of our politics in the critics of the market economy that sometimes suggest, we do e face risks and maybe that mood and those critics are among the most important of those risks.
