One-armed Economist: On the Intersection of Business and Government - First edition

One-Armed Economist represents a personal, if eclectic, approach to public policy. Weidenbaum avoids doctrinaire positions, be they Keynesian or monetarist or supply side or libertarian. This distillation of Weidenbaums wide range of writings on public policy issues over the last four decades draws on his practical experience in government and business as well as his academic research over that extended period. This volume covers six major clusters of policy issues: economic policy, government programs, business decision-making, government regulation, the defense sector, and the international economy. One-Armed Economist is lucid analysis of major public policy issues of our time, written from the perspective of an active participant.
