商品簡介
Against the backdrop of today's heated legislative and campaign trail debates over the federal government's involvement in economic stimulus funding, Lind (historian, author and co-founder of the New America Foundation) provides a look back at America's economic history and its frequent jolts of change brought about by technology and changes in the political order. And, as the pace of such change increases, the author contends that new technology adoption changes industries so quickly that today's political institutions cannot effectively govern them. The consequences, in the form of depression or the possibility of war, warrant the development of a new political order. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
