I.O.U.S.A. boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States. Burdened with an ever-expanding government, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and more.
Discusses how the United States lost its place as the dominant economic power of the world due to a host of reasons, including the entry into the world's markets of highly competitive foreign products and the poor management of U.S. businesses.
Divided into four sections--Japan in perspective; Japan yesterday and today ; the Japanese economy ; and Japan and the world--the book discusses such questions as "How long is Japan to rely on the U.S. military umbrella? What will or should be Japan's political and economic role in Asia? What will be the course of its relations with mainland China and the Soviet Union?" Preface.
This reworking of an unfinished novel from the 1930s relates the story of Mazie, a young girl, whose poverty-stricken family attempts to survive on a South Dakota farm in the 1920s and 1930s.
