Arthur Burns and the Successor Generation

Résumé du livre

Arthur Burns, known throughout the world as a teacher, economist, central banker, and counselor to presidents, devoted the last years of his lifeówhile he was U.S. Ambassador in Germany and after his return to Washington in 1985óto the young people in the U.S. and Europe, the successor generation. He studied, spoke, and wrote about the need for greater mutual knowledge and understanding among the future leaders of the Atlantic community. This book is a record of his efforts in this vital field. The book is unique; no other American statesman has recognized the need for focusing attention on the successor generation. No other has devoted so much intellectual energy to studying the problems facing the young people, and to suggesting remediesónamely, better education and more exchanges among young people of different societies.
