...figures of U.S. industry as compared with those of other industrial nations. The U.S., he says, is discouraging trade and capital formation, while other countries are doing the opposite. That is an idea whose time has come, at least among the experts: even many liberal economists now believe that Government regulation should be eased and tax policies changed in order to stimulate investment...
