At the Bretton Woods conference in 1944, representatives from 40 nations established an international structure for postwar reconstruction. The goal of the United States in this effort was to revive Germany and Japan, rebuild the economies of Western Europe and incorporate all into a global economic system led by the United States. Perhaps the US succeeded too well. By most measures the American economy has lagged behind those of Japan and Germany over the last decade. This book looks at the steps which the US must take to revitalise its economy and reassert its leadership in the global economy. Expert from the public and private sectors examine this problem.
