This book delves into profound economic challenges confronting the United States and offers comprehensive policy reforms to address them. The authors employ a wide-ranging review of economic research to conduct an evidence-based evaluation of four critical economic issues impacting the US and other developed nations: the slowing of economic growth, the unsustainable rise in public debt, the growing disparities in wages, and the urgent threat of climate change. Recognizing the interconnectedness of these issues, the authors propose a holistic approach to tackle them simultaneously. They examine the root causes of these problems and offer insightful recommendations for policy reforms. By consolidating the analysis of all four issues in a single volume, this book serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in macroeconomic theory, public sector economics, international economics, labor economics, and environmental economics. It provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing these complex economic challenges.
