In partnership with the celebrated Economist journalist and historian Adrian Wooldridge, he unfolds a tale involving vast landscapes, titanic figures, triumphant breakthroughs, enlightenment ideals as well as terrible moral failings. Every crucial debate is here--from the role of slavery in theantebellum Southern economy to the real impact of FDR's New Deal to America's violent mood swings in its openness to global trade and its impact. But to read Capitalism in America is above all to be stirred deeply by the extraordinary productive energiesunleashed by millions of ordinary Americans that have driven this country to unprecedented heights of power and prosperity. At heart, the authors argue, America's genius has been its unique tolerance for the effects of creative destruction, the ceaselesschurn of the old giving way to the new, driven by new people and new ideas. Often messy and painful, creative destruction has also lifted almost all Americans to standards of living unimaginable to even the wealthiest citizens of the world a few generations past. A sense of justice and human decency demands that those who bear the brunt of the pain of change be protected, but America has always accepted more pain for more gain, and its vaunted rise cannot otherwise be understood, or its challenges faced,without recognizing this legacy. For now, in our time, productivity growth has stalled again, stirring up the populist furies. There's no better moment to apply the lessons of history to the most pressing question we face"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Capitalism $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Economic history. 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economic History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / Economic Development. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy. 700 1 $a Wooldridge, Adrian, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Greenspan, Alan, 1926- $t Capitalism in America $d New York City : Penguin Press, 2018 $z 9780735222458 $w (DLC) 2018022007 941 $a 21 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710042654.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014827.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314015149.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305015042.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210021634.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060427.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103023253.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529014650.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022835.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211031525.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211012749.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20190802012528.0 952 $l VSPC034 $d 20190604011002.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20190521012557.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20190328025925.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20181206010857.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20181127015851.0 952 $l YGPC162 $d 20181127013923.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20181102010702.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20181024010955.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006120658.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=203DE8A2C93111E88539171297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
