Read Online Unfreeze: How to Create a High Growth Economy After the Pandemic Kindle
The authors of Unfreeze spell out the policy settings necessary for the rapid adaptation and market re-coordination that is required to resuscitate the economy. They explain why a return to business as usual is simply not enough to get everyone working again. A period of high growth prosperity will be imperative to deal with the costs of the freeze. This book tackles the tough questions and fills some of the current void of ideas and thinking about economic recovery. It develops a framework and principles for an institutional re-build, presenting a path to recovery based on the ideas of private governance, permissionless innovation, and entrepreneurial dynamism.“Economies are not like video games that can be paused and then unpaused with no effect. Freezing an economy causes systematic problems, and unfreezing it requires systematic solutions. This book is a much needed well-researched study on what it will take to get the world up and running again." ~ Jason BrennanAbout the AuthorsDr Darcy W.E.
