Editorial: The B-Minus World Economy: Investment is Key to Getting a Better Grade

The economic recovery from the global financial and economic crisis that broke out in 2008 has been unusually weak. Global growth has consistently been slower than the average pace during the dozen or so years before the global financial crisis. The failure to achieve a stronger cyclical upswing has had very real costs in terms of foregone employment, stagnant living standards in advanced economies, less vigorous development in some emerging economies, and rising inequality nearly everywhere.
