This collection of essays explores the fundamental sources of U.S. economic performance, and the public policies that sustain or weaken that performance. Revitalizing the U.S. Economy explores such issues as stimulating and channelling private investment, modifying rules of competition, and reconceptualizing the economy and economic policy. This book surveys industrial policy from a national perspective, examines development policies at the subnational level, analyzes issues in human resources policy, and critiques the policy making process.
