Fiscal Therapy: Curing America's Debt Addiction and Investing in the Future de William G. Gale

Fiscal Therapy: Curing America's Debt Addiction and Investing in the Future

Autor William G. Gale
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 mai 2019

Remarcăm faptul că Fiscal Therapy se adresează în primul rând consultanților în politici publice, economiștilor, antreprenorilor și studenților MBA care caută o înțelegere profundă a mecanismelor fiscale americane. Suntem de părere că lucrarea lui William G. Gale reușește o performanță rară: reconcilierea necesității de a reduce datoria publică pe termen lung cu imperativul unor investiții masive imediate în infrastructură, cercetare științifică și servicii sociale. Cartea este construită ca un diagnostic precis, oferind soluții concrete prin care SUA pot atinge sustenabilitatea bugetară fără a sacrifica standardele de viață sau leadership-ul global.

Putem afirma că abordarea lui Gale este marcată de un optimism pragmatic, oferind un teren comun pentru ambele tabere politice. Stilul narativ este riguros, ancorat în date istorice și studii de caz internaționale, evitând capcanele ideologice. Pe linia practică a volumului Restoring Fiscal Sanity de Alice M. Rivlin, dar cu focus pe sinergia dintre investițiile sociale și disciplina fiscală, Fiscal Therapy demonstrează că nu trebuie să alegem între echitate și eficiență economică.

În contextul operei sale, această lucrare reprezintă o evoluție firească. Dacă în titluri precum Automatic sau The Evolving Pension System autorul s-a concentrat pe mecanismele de economisire și securitate financiară la nivel individual sau de grup, în Fiscal Therapy el ridică miza la nivel macroeconomic. Această tranziție de la studiul pensiilor și al taxelor la cel al sănătății fiscale naționale consolidează poziția lui Gale ca unul dintre cei mai importanți arhitecți ai politicilor federale contemporane.

Descriere

Fiscal Therapy shows how to make America's economy stronger and fairer by meeting long-term budget challenges while also addressing its short-term need for more investment and better social policy.America is facing a double-edged sword of budget challenges. In the coming decades, rising public debt will hurt our economy, threaten our global leadership, and reduce the living standards of our people. It will require tax increases and spending cuts to bring about a sustainable outcome. At the same time, however, America has pressing needs -- from improving our schools and making child care more available to rebuilding our infrastructure and investing more in scientific research -- all of which require upfront investments right now. In Fiscal Therapy, William Gale diagnoses these two set of challenges and explains why we must address them simultaneously. Fiscal Therapy shows that we can address our long-term budget challenges in ways that also help us meet our short-term needs, and we can do so without radically transforming our current institutions and existing programs. Gale draws lessons from the nation's history; takes guidance from the experiences of other advanced nations; reconciles the twin demands of economic growth and social fairness; and addresses the obstacles that America's poisonous politics and fickle public opinion present.Fiscal Therapy provides a clear, comprehensive, and optimistic approach around which liberals and conservatives can rally. One that will leave the United States a stronger, more prosperous, and fairer nation.

Bush and author of The Benefit and the Burden: Tax Reform-Why We Need It and What It Will Take.
