Discretionary spending in the new Obama budget would shrink to 4.9 per cent of gross domestic product in 2023, compared with 7.9 per cent of GDP in 2008. Both parties have signed on to this shrinkage. Neither will try to stop it..." (Jefferey Sachs). Este economista americano discorda de Paul Krugman que adoptou "uma versão simplista e inadequada das teorias keynesianas". Talvez valha a pena ler The Price of Civilization o último de Sachs.
