The age of diminished expectations

An insider's guide to the economic debates that will dominate the 1990s. Addresses all of the major problems facing the U.S. economy, and presents the evidence and arguments that are shaping U.S. economic policy.

First sentence: It is hard nowadays to imagine what it must have been like to be a real optimist about the economy-to believe, as most Americans did a generation ago, that things could only get better, that individuals could count on steadily rising incomes and parents could confidently expect their children to move up in the world.
