Contours of Descent: An Analysis of Pollin's Theme
This four page undergraduate paper examines Robert Pollin's book, Contours of Descent. The author notes that Pollin re-evaluates the America and global economies during the Clinton and Bush administrations and argues that their neo-liberal, Washington Consensus driven policies that emphasized smaller government, free trade, and deregulation of financial markets have benefited the rich and powerful at the expense of ordinary people.
