| 总结: | A revised edition of a work originally published in French (Julliard, 1994), this serves as a tour of the dominant ideas in political economy, summarizing historical and theoretical perspectives on the causes of economic growth in the US, Western Europe, Japan, and elsewhere.

He advocates government discretion by showing the disastrous consequences of a hands-off approach to debt, inflation, and social security. |
