One of America’s greatest success stories is its economy. For more than a century, it has been the envy of the world. The opportunity it generates has inspired millions of people to want to become American. Today, however, America’s economy is at a crossroads. Managed decline and creeping statism do not have to be America’s only choices. This book insists that there is an alternative: a vibrant market economy grounded on entrepreneurship, competition, and trade openness.
“We’re becoming like Europe.” This expression captures many Americans’ sense that something has changed in American economic life since the Great Recession’s onset in 2008.
