The Amer­i­can econ­o­my seems to be send­ing mixed sig­nals – is there a way to avoid an­oth­er crash?

The pro­pos­al is great in prin­ci­ple, but it is too ear­ly to spec­u­late on what it will achieve in prac­tice.

And it does not mean we are en­ter­ing a new age where the pow­er of Wall Street will be tru­ly chal­lenged.

Trump is at­tempt­ing to un­der­mine a much-need­ed De­mo­c­rat-Re­pub­li­can con­sen­sus.

In spite of the neg­a­tives and the risks, the stim­u­lus pack­age rep­re­sents a real po­lit­i­cal and philo­soph­i­cal change.
