Economist Lawrence Summers is not backward in coming forward. His lecture delivers a bold – though cryptic – message: He posits the prospect of ongoing “secular stagnation.” Summers questions whether current fiscal and monetary policies are sufficient, or even appropriate, to generate the jobs and growth that would propel a recovery. His ideas aren’t wholly novel, but, considering Summers’s position as a member of the economic establishment, his frank views are refreshing. getAbstract recommends his noble effort to question current US economic policy.
