ve·loc·i·ty eco·nom·ics \ və-ˈlä-sə-tē e-kə-ˈnä-miks \ n
production focused theory, principles, and practices that define the structure of economic life in a country, region, or community where maximizing the rate of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services maximizes the transfer and accumulation of wealth
–Chris Draper, 2018
Both supply-side advocates and supply-side opponents agree that modern supply-side economics does not work.
Our national discourse requires an intellectually honest, politically palatable alternative for addressing the income and wealth inequity that economists from Adam Smith to Milton Friedman warn against.
This book is intended to spark a new discussion about how our economy actually works, so it can again work for all Americans.
