Faced with the poverty of neoconservative and traditional liberal solutions, Ronald Muller tries to draw up a new blueprint of attack. More than an economic tract on revamping American industry; Revitalizing America looks at fundamental changes that American people and corporations must make in the decade ahead. As the title suggests, prosperity requires much more than the recrudescence of an affluent industrial elite, but a rebirth of a political spirit of cooperation and determination. Muller's scope extends beyond domestic boundaries to the problems of the Third World--a topic conspicuously absent in the discussions of most corporate zealots...
Although no longer the factory for the industrial world, the United States still carries the largest share of the burden for sparking global development. Muller attributes the stagflation that has mired national growth rates in a steady through to a vicious cricle of inflation and low productivity and likens the American scenario to the sputtering economies of less-developed countries. To combat what he calls this "Latin Americization" of the United States, he proposes concerted political efforts to both stimulate world-wide demand for American products and national consensus for greater efficiency and equity at home. Although he doesn...
...development in Brazil, Muller's favorite example of this type of cooperation, provides a frightening case of successful enterprise but mistaken priorities. The government there provided sufficient bait to attract U.S. automoblie manfuacturers and other multinationals. This bias in Brazil toward export-oriented industrial and urban development significantly diluted relief to the rural poor there. Similarly, Muller notes that after years of stangation the Indian steel industry has become an exporter. But at what cost to the millions starving in India's villages and cities? Although his global market plan may provide a boon to the United States and other...
...taxation may cause plenty of anguish at three-martini lunches, but the political dynamite of our society comes from chronic unemployment and inflation along with the futility of many poor neighborthoods. The current stagnation prevents both the public and private sectors from assisting the poor they once did. While Muller is right to dismiss the voguish speculation on taxation and capital formation as irrelevant to future prosperity, he provides no radical response to pressing social problems. He advocates a decentralized, grass-roots reform of labor, corporations and government relationships. Muller outlines a program of cooperation between these economic actors that...
Currently, P-3 work is permitted under the NIH guidelines, and universities would continue to be allowed to perform the work even if Vellucci's ordinance is adopted. But private firms, including Biogen, which Muller said will reserve one room of its facility for P-3 work, would be limited to the less restrictive P-1 and P-2 work under the ordinance...
