The author focuses on flaws in U.S. govenrment's measures to boost consumer demand and fight recession. He asserts that government spending and one-time transfer of capital from the savings sector to investors or consuming public do not stimulate the economy nor boost demand per se. He argues that these approaches are merely based on superstitions. He says that tax cuts and stronger dollar are what the U.S. economy needs.
