When Gene Sperling was in charge of coordinating the shaping and execution of the US government's economic policy in the Obama White House, he found that our economic debate confused ends and means; that we measured economic success by metrics like GDP instead of whether the economy was succeeding in lifting up the sense of meaning, purpose, fulfillment, and security of people. Now more than ever, at a moment when the very capacity of modern capitalism to avoid accelerating inequality, a hollowed-out middle class, and structural poverty is being questioned, we need to step back and reflect on our ultimate goals. In Economic Dignity, Sperling offers paths that policymakers and citizens can follow for years to come.
