Charles R. Morris's The trillion dollar meltdown (2008) was the first book to warn of the impending financial crash in all its horrific scale and speed. Now, with Comeback, Morris reveals that the United States is on the brink of a strong recovery that could last for twenty years or more. The new shale-based oil and gas boom and rising American manufacturing productivity is creating a powerful trend toward 'reshoring, ' which will generate millions of new, well-paying middle-class jobs and tame inherent deficits. But we could fumble it away. The gold-rush style of shale boom companies does not make them good neighbors. A counter-reaction could put their industry, and the new era of national prosperity, at risk. At the threshold of a thrilling opportunity, Morris is a brilliantly perceptive guide." -- P.
