From the Inside Flap
Despite the painful shocks of sky-high energy prices, rising short-term interest rates, volatile housing markets, and global terrorism, the American economy has continued to perform well in recent years. But even as solid growth has occurred, the national media has led millions of Americans to believe that the economy is merely limping along, creating few quality jobs, and on the brink of disaster.
With econAmerica, author Jeff Thredgold sets the record straight by debunking some of today's most common economic myths—many of which have been perpetuated by the media—and presents a balanced picture of the U.S. economy and where it may be headed.
Over the course of his successful career as an economist, educator, and professional speaker, Thredgold has always had an optimistic outlook on the U.S. economy and its role within the global community. Now, in econAmerica, he shares his engaging and entertaining experiences with you and examines the fundamental factors that will affect your financial well-being for years to come.
Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, econAmerica focuses on the essential elements of a strong American economy, including the rising quality of jobs, wages, and benefits—and climbing stock prices. Along the way, it also provides clarity to critical areas within the U.S. economy—such as government and taxation, the entitlement issue, the Federal Reserve, consumer behavior, retirement realities, inflation and interest rates, and the power of incentives in the economy—that will help you make more informed financial decisions in both your personal and business endeavors. Leaving no stone unturned, econAmerica also takes the time to discuss a number of important international issues, from global competition and long-term currency fluctuations to energy availability, that continue to weigh on our economy.
Looking back over the past as well as ahead to the coming decades, this timely guide provides both the seasoned professional and those new to this arena with an understandable view of the U.S. economy. By cutting through the media hype, econAmerica offers you a clear picture of how the American economy is really performing and what that means for the future of your finances.
