| Publisher Description: Daleiden, a former economic consultant to the Office of Management and the Budget during the Carter administration and Director of Corporate Planning for Ameritech, analyzes a veritable raft of unresolved problems the US faces from the economy to the environment. Arguing that the US faces a mid-century meltdown if current trends continue, he argues for specific policy changes that could redirect the course of the nation towards long-term benefit. |
