For the first time, trends in 20 major economic and federal budget indicators, most reported since World War II, are presented in a single source.

The results are often surprising and counter-intuitive, challenging many popular beliefs. This presentation of averages, trends, and illustrations will allow scholars, students, and others interested in economics, politics, and history, to interpret economic news more effectively.
