demandside
Summary: Progressive economics, topical, theoretical, useful, commentary and forecasts, from Keynes and the New Deal, to Galbraith and the rise of the industrial state, to Stiglitz and Globalization, the Commons, and public goods. Economics worked between the Depression and the 1970s because it was based on Demand Side principles. Facing environmental challenges, global poverty and the decline of the U.S. economy, we need to go back to the roots of what worked.
