"A smoothly written account of the U.S. and the world economy during the 1970s and parts of the 1980s . . . Mr. Levinson is a smart enough author not to be tempted into some breathless mono-causal account of either the earlier “boom” or the later slowdown." (Wall Street Journal)
"An efficiently presented chronology of the global economy since the end of World War II . . . Weaving together data and narrative, [Levinson] shows how productivity growth foundered and the irritant of inflation appeared and would not leave." (Best Books of 2017 strategy+business)
"Provocative . . . Levinson reminds us how mesmerizing the post-World War II boom was." (Washington Post)
"A valuable antidote to all passionately held economic ideologies." (Paul Collier Times Literary Supplement)
"Levinson, an economist and ex-journalist . . . has the virtues of both ― an eye for detail and an understanding of the broader picture." (Best Economics Books of 2016 Washington Post)
Marc Levinson is an economist, historian and journalist who writes for publications including the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and Foreign Affairs.
