Summary: "This book is not only an attempt to make peace between extremist public debt views, it is also a plea for the development of a sane public investment policy. If all classes of society could become reconciled to the development of a mixed economy with a large measure of public investments, there would be ample profits and employment for all. The successful functioning of a mixed economy will be the best proof that capitalism is not sick. To thwart the development of a mixed economy is to sign the death warrant of capitalism." -- From the Preface
