Recommendation

The top economic issues of the 2010s – flawed policies, uneven wealth distribution, massive government debt, inadequate health care access, and a mixed bag of demographic and social trends that could drag down growth – will likely continue into the 2020s. In this incisive and sobering panorama, 10 economists at the Brookings Institution offer their expert takes on the unresolved problems that threaten Americans’ economic well-being.

Take-Aways

  • Distorted fiscal, monetary and payment policies propel inequality.
  • Expanded access to health care succeeded in generating economic gains, but the threat of reversal looms large.
  • Both positive and negative demographic and societal shifts will affect economic growth.
