The report calls for a serious jobs program that will necessarily include short-term stimulus measures, but with its primary focus on structural interventions to shift the balance of economic and political power from Wall Street to Main Street.

The New Economy Network stated that “this New Economy jobs program puts forward an agenda that secures for every American the opportunity to achieve an adequate and dignified living regardless of race or gender, to stabilize and strengthen the bonds of caring families and communities, to bring America’s material consumption into balance with our ecological resources, and to take a bold new step toward true democracy by creating a nation of owners.”
