Reviews
"""Growing Prosperity could well be as important in shaping our future as Keynes' General Theory....A work as meticulous as it is powerful, as promising as it is persuasive."" - Robert Heilbroner, author of The Worldly Philosophers ""Bluestone and Harrison have alerted us to the key issue confronting America: how to achieve growth with equity. This country needs a powerful dialogue on how to continue growth while deepening its benefits to all Americans. This is the blueprint for the terms of that debate."" - U.S. Representative Richard Gephardt ""A breakthough in the political debate over the New Economy. This is the first book that lays out a progressive economic policy designed to encourage technology-driven growth, while ameliorating bad consequences such as a widening income disparity and excessive dependence on a volatile stock market."" - Michael J. Mandel, Business Week"""
