After the Waste Land

by Samuel Bowles, David M. Gordon, Thomas E. Weisskopf

This critique of Reaganomics attempts to provide alternatives to both the supply experiments of the 1980s and neoliberal strategies of austerity. It presents arguments for economic democracy with a worker-oriented blueprint for improving productivity, growth, employment and economic justice.
