Tax cuts or government spending? Debate heats up over best way to grow the economy
Larry Summers has an article in "Foreign Affairs" saying we're in a very unusual situation, you call it the liquidity trap. He calls it secular stagnation.
He says that the only way to grow the economy right now is really vigorous public spending or tax cuts. Ultimately, the argument is indeed over whether growth and jobs can be created faster by tax cuts or by government spending.
