The 4% Growth Project
The United States is reaching a pivotal point in its economic history. Millions of Americans owe more on their homes than they are worth, long-term unemployment is alarmingly high, and the Congressional Budget Office is projecting a sustainable growth rate of only 2.3% — a full percentage point below the average for the past 60 years. Unless a turnaround comes quickly, the United States could be mired in debt for years to come, and millions of Americans will be pushed to the sidelines of the economy.
“The 4% Solution” offers clear and unflinching ideas on how to revive America’s economy. It sets a positive economic goal and asks some of the top economic minds how to achieve it. With a focus on removing government constraints, “The 4% Solution” defines the policies that will allow Americans to save, invest, and create the jobs that the United States needs.”The 4% Solution” draws on the best minds in the business, including five Nobel laureates:
