It's Not as Bad as You Think
Why Capitalism Trumps Fear and the Economy Will Thrive
Gebonden Engels 9780470238332Samenvatting
In 'It's Not as Bad as You Think' laat Brian Wesbury zien dat de economie - al is hij moeilijk voorspelbaar - op de wat langere termijn altijd op zijn pootjes terechtkomt. Wesbury is, volgens kranten als The New York Times, een van de meest gerespecteerde voorspellers van dit moment. Zijn boek is goed te volgen en ontkracht een aantal van de doemscenario's die tegenwoordig in de mode zijn.
