Bergsten, C. Fred
Foreign Affairs, November/December 2009, v88, #6, online edition
" Even as efforts to recover from the current crisis go forward, the United States should launch new policies to avoid large external deficits, balance the budget, and adapt to a global currency system less centered on the dollar. Although it will take a number of years to fully implement these measures, they should be initiated promptly both to bolster confidence in the recovery and to build the foundation for a sustainable US economy over the long haul. This is not just an economic imperative but a foreign policy and national security one as well."
C. Fred Bergsten is the director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics since its creation in 1981.
