Description
This book surveys the growth and decline of the Florentine economy, and that of Victorian Britain, and relates their experiences to the US in the era following the Second World War, a period notable for accumulating public debt. It also speculates on what options the US may have to avoid the fates of Florence and Victorian Britain in the future.
