God Bless You Joe Stalin: The Man who Saved CapitalismAlgora Publishing, 2006 - 312 pages This enlightening and controversial book sets forth the thesis that the growing prosperity of the U.S. economy during the past 60 years is directly linked to deficit spending, and that the synergy of these two phenomena will continue for the foreseeable future. The dramatic narrative traces the evolution of the concept of the Almighty Dollar against the backdrop of the development and denouement of the Cold War. It demonstrates how individual decisions made by U.S. and Soviet leaders affected the course of events. An analysis of the Historical Tables of the United States Government, showing the tandem growth of U.S. deficits and the GDP, is interwoven into the historical recounting. The epilogue concludes that the U.S. economy is on a treadmill of deficit spending, and that if deficit spending is substantially reduced, a global recession will ensue. |
