چکیده
Cet article passe en revue les nouvelles économiques favorables aux États-Unis durant les années 90, caractérisées par une croissance économique continue avec un faible taux de chômage et une faible inflation. Cet échange chômage-inflation favorable a été rendue possible, en partie, par de nombreux facteurs qui ont gardé l’inflation des prix faible. De plus, de nombreux changements dans le marché du travail ont permi à la production (ainsi qu’au niveau d’emploi) de croître sans une inflation des salaires. Cet article explore les nombreuses théories se penchant sur les chances selon lesquelles ces tendances vont se poursuivre. La dernière section contient une discussion sur quelques issues politiques se dégageant de cette croissance actuelle.
