Do you deny the positive effects of the 2009 American Recovery Act (ARA) on the U.S. economy?

China has used both a market-based and state-based approach in concert to create a strong economy. Does this indicate to you that the state should have some economic control?

Hi Professor,

What's your take on the recent Brookings institute study that increasing of taxes on the top one percent will have negligible impact on in equality?

Even though I think that taxes are the easiest way to bring inequality down - the system is prebuilt and just has to be recalibrated! Would a multi-pronged approach (such as additional entitlements , union strengthening, etc.) be more effective?
