Preface:
We produced The Illustrated Guide to the American Economy in 1992 in the belief that talk about the American economy suffered from a lack of information and that an attempt to present some of the basic facts would be helpful. The response to our original volume prompts us to believe that a revised and updated edition would be valuable.
We have added new material to this edition. One section (Part Fourteen), the importance of which was highlighted by the recent policy debate, extends the discussion of health issues. Another (Part Fifteen) takes up problems in measuring changes in the quality of life, such as shortcomings in our price indexes and the treatment of expenditures for pollution control and abatement. The discussion of capital in Part Five has been broadened to embrace government capital and infrastructure, natural resources, and research and development. The section concerning the structure of the economy (Part Ten) now discusses small business, multinational corporations, and trade unions. We have also expanded the material dealing with the distribution of income in the United States (Part Four).
The present edition brings the data up to or through the year 1994, where that is possible. In addition it incorporates a number of other changes. One of those is to follow the practice of the US Department of Commerce in shifting from the gross national product (GNP) to the gross domestic product (GDP) as the basic measure of the national output. The difference is very small for the United States, but use of the GDP puts the US accounts into line with the practice of other countries, where the difference is more significant.
