Summary:

Analyzes the causes and implications of a growing U.S. trade current account deficit, including movement of capital to the U.S., dumping of foreign goods, impact of recessions and slow growth abroad on U.S. exports, and trade barriers. Considers how the purchase of U.S. assets by foreigners affects the economy, whether the trade deficits of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s are different, and whether the U.S. can continue running large deficits, and examines policy options to eliminate the trade deficit.
