Summary:	"Drawing on their experience as government insiders, George P. Shultz and Kenneth W. Dam explain how economic policy is shaped at the highest levels of government. They reveal the connections between economic, social, and international policy. A new chapter, "A Changed World," explores how our increasingly global economy influences economic strategy. With candor, authority, and breadth of vision, Shultz and Dam have produced a brilliant introduction to economic policy, its principles, and its practice."--Jacket.
