The economic news of the last several years has been remarkable--from the collapse of the "New Economy" to the buildup of a war economy. The ninth edition of Current Economic Issues is an invaluable tool for understanding the economics behind the headlines. Its 46 articles offer progressive perspectives on major economic news stories, along the way debunking dozens of myths broadcast by the business press. The book starts with an examination of the recent economic recovery, and explains why so many have been left out of it. It takes a critical look at the crackdown on workersand the labor movement since September 11, 2001, and showcases new labor organizing. Three new chapters scrutinize the Bush administration's fiscal policies, pointing out the problems with tax cuts for the wealthy, rollbacks in social spending, and proposals to privatize Social Security. The final chapters critique the global spread of neoliberalism and the economics of the "War on Terror," and look at underreported efforts to advance economic alternatives. The sharply written, well-researched articles are drawn from the pages of Dollars & Sense, the award-winning magazine of popular economics. Dollars & Sense also publishes Real World Macro, Real World Micro, Real World Globalization, The Wealth Inequality Reader, Introduction to Political Economy, Unlevel Playing Fields: Understanding Wage Inequality and Discrimination, The Environment in Crisis, and Real World Banking.

Current Economic Issues, Ninth Edition

Alejandro Reuss

How much would you spend to protect the environment? That s the starting and ending point for most mainstream economists when they talk about environmental issues and that s part of the problem. In twenty-four engaging and informative articles, The Environment in Crisis offers progressive perspectives on the environment and debunks the myths broadcast by the business press and neoclassical economists. The book starts with a discussion of how mainstream economics shortchanges the environment, breaking down the murky science of cost-benefit analysis, the twisted logic behind the Gross Domestic Product and other economic measures, and the wishful thinking of proponents of endless growth. In Chapter Two, the contributors look at how environmental advocates are being attacked by corporate polluters in the media, the marketplace, and the workplace. In Chapter Three, we see how the environment has played out in the political arena, from Kyoto to rising gas prices, and how the largest corporate polluters control the agenda. Chapter Four takes a look at the growing battles over global resources like fresh water and fish, showing how mainstream economic analysis distorts the debate and keeps the best solutions off the table. Chapter Five examines how people in poor countries are forced to deal with the waste from over consumption in wealthy countries. The book concludes with a series of articles that imagine a way to change the status quo and build an environmentally sustainable economy.
