Inside this Book – It’s the economy, stupid,” James Carville once wrote on the wall of Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign war room. But maybe those words should be scrambled. Maybe “it’s the stupid economy” sums things up better. How to describe a nation nearly twice as rich as it was a generation ago, but actually paying its median workers less than it was then? 2 How is it that with so much wealth, so many people are so desperate? So unhappy? So stressed and strapped for time? Vanishing jobs, benefits, and retirement don’t help. Where’s the progress in that? How do we compete more aggressively? By paying people a dollar a day? Or by producing and consuming even more stuff ? Just what is “the economy”? What’s it for? Is it working for us, or are we working for it? Can it work better? We’d better hope so. We’d better make it so.
