Chapter
Lessons from Europe’s Debt Crisis for the United States
In: Cato Journal
Recommendation
The United States is sleepwalking toward a fiscal precipice, lulled into complacency by historically low interest rates, says Desmond Lachman, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. His conservative-leaning article states that, unless it changes its trajectory, the US is on course to follow in the footsteps of Europe’s peripheral states. Although always politically neutral, getAbstract applauds this reminder that the US needs to acknowledge some uncomfortable facts now, before it’s too late.
