Jump starting the economy by investing in small businesses Small businesses generate the majority of the country's new jobs and employ more than two thirds of American workers. Bestselling author John Mauldin and renowned small business expert William Dunkelberg come together to explain the economic collapse of America, rising unemployment, and what the government should do to ensure sustained economic growth. The solution, they say, is focusing on key investments in small businesses across the country. The government policies in place today that are intended to spur growth in the small business sector are at best benign, mostly due to a lack of understanding on the part of the politicians. To help bridge this knowledge gap, Broke America: How Business & Government Can Create Jobs and Grow the Economy offers advice on how to move the economy forward by investing money in small businesses. The book addresses: * The economic collapse of America and its effect on small businesses * Ever-increasing unemployment rates, including the causes and potential remedies * The steps the government should take to properly invest in small businesses * The steps small businesses should take to ensure steady growth in the future Economic rebounds start and end with the crux of the American workforce--the small business owner. Economist William Dunkelberg has appeared on numerous television networks and is frequently quoted in major news publications, while coauthor John Mauldin brings more than 20 years of experience in investment publishing and economic research. Together they have written a comprehensive guide to getting American businesses back on track after the longest recession since the Great Depression.weiterlesen
