Glimmer Train Stories, #41

Consider a common item of husbandry: the salt lick. Name a rural town after it. Put in authority a megalomaniacal mayor. Populate it with foothills people bent to do his bidding. Set in the Cascades, Salt Lick shakes and burns as their lives carom from the orderly to the boundaries of control and beyond. Whether Salt Lick's citizens survive the resulting mayhem brews a black comedy part David Lynch's Twin Peaks, part Russell Banks' Trailer Park.

This pamphlet excerpts a chapter on macroeconomic policy from the Poverty Reduction Policy Sourcebook, a guide prepared by the World Bank and the IMF to assist countries in developing and strengthening their poverty reduction strategies. It probes the relationship between macroeconomic policy matters, such as growth and inflation, and the fight against poverty, explains how sound monetary and fiscal policies--key tools of the macroeconomist--can help to spur growth and ease poverty.
