America’s crisis is, in short, a social crisis, not an economic crisis.

加上

Almost all of the policy discourse in Washington DC centers on naïve
attempts to raise the economic growth rate, as if a higher growth rate would
somehow heal the deepening divisions and angst in American society. This
kind of growth-only agenda is doubly wrong-headed.

First, most of the pseudo-elixirs for growth―especially the Republican
Party’s beloved nostrum of endless tax cuts and voodoo economics― will
only exacerbate America’s social inequalities and feed the distrust that is
already tearing society apart.

Second, a forthright attack on the real sources of social crisis would have
a much larger and more rapid beneficial effect on U.S. happiness.
