In Back to Work Bill Clinton offers a plan to get America out of its economic crisis & back into the future business." Clinton details how to lay a foundation for long-term prosperity offering specific recommendations on how to boost employment rates increase bank lending & corporate investment & double exports.

Conflict between the government & the private sector has given the U.S. a weak economy growing income inequality & a decline in its competitive position.
