Abstract:

In summary, the situation in the United States from the Wharton point of view is not an unstable one. It is not something that is going to collapse over the next couple of years. It will change slowly. The baseline calls for slow, sluggish growth, a type of muddling through, but no recession, at least not between now and 1988. To develop a recession scenario, there would either have to be a collapse in the dollar or some kind of policy mistake. For the moment the only policy mistake on the horizon is protectionism, and there now seems to be less than a 50/50 chance of that occurring.
