If it only keeps to a B level, with an average 4% unemployment, it can expect a 4.7% average growth. If it goes along at a C level, with 5% unemployment, as at present, it will still average 4.2% annually...

Without changing our economic system in any fundamental way, without instituting elaborate controls and without Government-imposed forced high rates of capital accumulation," the U.S. economy can grow at a rate as high as 5.2% a year...
