Economics in the Present Tense: Dysfunctions of the Welfare State

Years of work in the financial industry as a trader and strategist have endowed Joel Clarke Gibbons with acute powers of perception and provided the groundwork for Economics in the Present Tense. This lucid, edifying, and opinionated volume goes beyond the hype and superficial news to show readers America's economy as it exists today. Deftly tackling such topics as immigration, productivity, and the ever-present risk of inflation hanging over our financial markets, Economics in the Present Tense is an accessible and illuminating read that supplies much food for thought.
