A Plan to Revive the American Economy

From Economic Policy Institute:

With grim economic news coming from many directions, it's easy to get discouraged about our ability to repair the damage of years of failed economic policies.

And yet, there are pragmatic solutions to our biggest challenges, including ways to restore health care and retirement security, to create family-supporting jobs, and to reestablish a leadership role in the global economy.

Collaborating with some of the nation's top progressive thinkers, EPI researchers have been exploring and refining solutions for the better part of two years.

Now, just in time for national debates on economic direction, EPI has compiled the best of these proposals into a small, easy-to-read Policy Handbook called A Plan to Revive the American Economy.

For detailed reports, video of panel discussions and more on the ongoing effort to build a better way forward, please see www.SharedProsperity.org.
