(Credit: AP/J Pat Carter) This article was originally published on The Conversation. Read the original article. In a recent issue of The Economist, President Barack Obama set out four major economic issues that his successor must tackle. As he put it: “… restoring faith in an economy where hardworking Americans can get ahead requires addressing four major structural challenges: boosting productivity growth, combating rising inequality, ensuring that everyone who wants a job can get one and building a resilient economy that’s primed for future growth.” It’s hard to quibble with the items on the president’s list.
