| Publisher Description: This book presents the conservative and liberal arguments related to the economic issues faced by the Obama administration, including market regulation and green economy. Chapters on Obama's response to the financial crisis, regulated market, green economy, need for reform and more offer a true assessment of the problems at hand and propose a progressive alternative to each of the key issues, from foreclosures to entitlement reform. In addition, two appendices provide additional, in-depth information on the roots of the crisis and an economics primer accessible to the lay person. An engaging read, Making the Progressive Case will appeal to anyone interested in America's politics and economic future.
