Public Investment and Private Sector Growth

Résumé du livre

This report demonstrates the importance of public investment in physical infrastructure (roads, bridges, mass transit, electric power, sewers, etc.) to the stimulation of private sector productivity, profitability, and investment. Specifically, the report argues that the slow-down in spending for infrastructure over the past 25 years has been a major cause of the U.S. economy's poor performance since 1970.
