  • Pursued
  • Economy:
  • Understanding
  • and
  • Overcoming
  • the
  • Challenging
  • New
  • Realities
  • for
  • Advanced
  • Economies,
  • celebrated
  • economist
  • and
  • thought
  • leader
  • Richard
  • C.
  • Koo
  • dives
  • deep
  • into
  • the
  • failure
  • of
  • traditional
  • economic
  • solutions
  • to
  • address
  • the
  • economic
  • and
  • social
  • problems
  • of
  • post-Great
  • Recession
  • and
  • post-pandemic
  • economies.
  • Starting
  • with
  • the
  • original
  • concepts
  • of
  • balance
  • sheet
  • recessions
  • and
  • global
  • competition
  • for
  • capital,
  • the
  • author
  • explains
  • why
  • the
  • Great
  • Recession
  • lasted
  • for
  • so
  • long
  • and
  • why
  • well-intentioned
  • policies
  • that
  • worked
  • so
  • well
  • in
  • the
  • past
  • are
  • no
  • longer
  • working
  • today.Readers
  • will
  • discover
  • that
  • advanced
  • economies
  • moved
  • from
  • what
  • the
  • author
  • calls
  • the
  • "golden
  • era"
  • to
  • the
  • "pursued
  • era"
  • of
  • economic
  • development
  • long
  • ago,
  • but
  • the
  • policy
  • debate
  • in
  • these
  • countries
  • continues
  • to
  • be
  • informed
  • by
  • golden
  • era
  • assumptions
  • that
  • are
  • no
  • longer
  • relevant
  • but
  • are
  • still
  • taught
  • in
  • universities.
  • That
  • mismatch
  • has
  • led
  • to
  • an
  • over-reliance
  • on
  • monetary
  • policy
  • and
  • an
  • under-reliance
  • on
  • fiscal
  • policy
  • that
  • are
  • distorting
  • economies
  • and
  • worsening
  • inequality
  • in
  • a
  • profoundly
  • transformed
  • world.With
  • many
  • real-world
  • examples
  • from
  • the
  • author's
  • extensive
  • involvement
  • in
  • the
  • policy
  • debate
  • on
  • economic,
  • banking
  • and
  • trade
  • issues
  • in
  • several
  • countries,
  • including
  • the
  • U.S.,
  • the
  • book
  • describes
  • the
  • correct
  • policy
  • mix
  • in
  • the
  • pursued
  • era
  • as
  • distinct
  • from
  • that
  • in
  • the
  • golden
  • era.
  • It
  • also
  • explains
  • the
  • challenges
  • central
  • banks
  • face
  • in
  • fighting
  • inflation
  • after
  • a
  • decade
  • of
  • over-reliance
  • on
  • monetary
  • policy
  • that
  • flooded
  • the
  • world’s
  • economies
  • with
  • unprecedented
  • liquidity.Instead
  • of
  • simply
  • assuming
  • the
  • existence
  • of
  • "trend
  • growth
  • rates",
  • this
  • book
  • tackles
  • the
  • issue
  • of
  • economic
  • growth
  • head-on
  • so
  • as
  • to
  • elucidate
  • the
  • symmetry
  • between
  • the
  • drivers
  • of
  • growth
  • and
  • the
  • drivers
  • of
  • recession.
  • It
  • also
  • argues
  • that
  • the
  • fundamental
  • disconnect
  • between
  • free
  • trade
  • and
  • free
  • capital
  • movements
  • must
  • be
  • addressed
  • in
  • order
  • to
  • maximize
  • the
  • gains
  • from
  • globalization
  • while
  • minimizing
  • its
  • costs.
  • Written
  • in
  • simple
  • language
  • and
  • with
  • a
  • great
  • sense
  • of
  • urgency,
  • Pursued
  • Economy
  • should
  • be
  • of
  • interest
  • to
  • anyone
  • who
  • is
  • concerned
  • about
  • the
  • global
  • economy,
  • financial
  • stability
  • and geopolitics.
