Designated by the New Yorker as “one of the most brilliant economists of his generation”, heralded by the Atlantic as “one of the world's most eminent economists”, and described by the Huffington Post as one of “the most respected voices on the economy”, Lawrence (Larry) Summers is a leading authority on economic and fiscal policy. ‘The Wealth of Progressive Nations: The Collected Lectures of Lawrence Summers’ provides a fascinating celebration of his economic insights with a collection of over sixty (60) of his most important speeches as both United States Secretary of the Treasury and Director of the National Economic Council.The speeches, handpicked by the Ashfield Journal of Progressive Economic Studies editorial staff, represent works of historical significance and lasting influence on global markets and economic policy. Indeed, the works touch on a range of what are still today amongst the most important economic and fiscal policy issues facing America and the world – including globalization and economic inclusion.
