About this product

Product Information

Americans have always believed that economic growth leads to job growth. In this groundbreaking analysis, Stanley Aronowitz argues that this is no longer true. Just Around the Corner examines the state of the American economy as planned by Democrats and Republicans over the last thirty years. Aronowitz finds that economic growth has become "delinked" from job creation, and that unemployment and underemployment are a permanent condition of our economy. He traces the historical roots of this state of affairs and sees under the surface of booms and busts a continuum of economic austerity that creates financial windfalls for the rich at the expense of most Americans. Aronowitz also explores the cultural and political processes by which we have come to describe and accept economics in the United States. He concludes by presenting a concrete plan of action that would guarantee employment and living wages for all Americans. With both measured analysis and persuasive reasoning, Just Around the Corner provides an indispensable guide to our current economic predicament and a bold challenge to economists and policymakers.

Reviews
"Aronowitz's book promises to be [yet another!] of his incisive and timely political interventions - a clarion call both to the American labor movement (and American workers who wait for it to act on their behalf) and left activists." Daniel Walkowitz"Like such works as Robert Pollin's Contours of Descent, it is a telling indictment of the neoliberal consensus. And like Bennett and Harrison's Growing Prosperity, it makes a convincing case for public job creation and public infrastructure. But its historical explication of how we arrived at this juncture, its discussion of just what a job is, and its analysis of the role that unions and the left have played or failed to play make it a distinctive contribution to current policy debates." John Buell, "Aronowitz writes well and makes a persuasive case that will no doubt be challenged by mainstream neo-liberal economists. But it will be difficult to undermine the solid empirical data he has amassed to show that the problem of economic growth without sustainable and remunerative employment presents a huge challenge for the future." The Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare"Aronowitz's book promises to be [yet another!] of his incisive and timely political interventions - a clarion call both to the American labor movement (and American workers who wait for it to act on their behalf) and left activists." Daniel Walkowitz"Like such works as Robert Pollin's Contours of Descent, it is a telling indictment of the neoliberal consensus.
