United States Fiscal Policy: Its Effects at Home and Abroad

By John H. Makin

A must-read analysis for anyone tracking the federal budget deficit, exchange rate policy, and tax reform, where AEI economist John H. Makin unpacks the tangled relationship between US fiscal policy and monetary policy, offering essential insight into trade balances, international policy coordination, and the countercyclical tools, from the investment tax credit to the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act, shaping America's role in an increasingly interdependent world economy.

In two essays, John H. Makin traces the unusual path of US fiscal policy in the first half of the 1980s.
