Wilson called the plan a "modified free market" saying industries need "a carrot, and not a stick" to reduce their pollution output...
...used to enjoy years of rising production, incomes and employment between recessions. But as 1981 begins, economists generally believe that the nation is slipping into another downturn only about five months after getting out of the last one. And the 1980 slump was exceptionally severe: it knocked down the output of goods and services at an annual rate of 9.9% in the second quarter, added 1.7 million people to the jobless rolls in April and May, and contributed to the largest quarter-to-quarter surge in unemployment ever recorded in statistics that date back to 1940. The recovery that followed...
...Business investment in new plant and equipment, which is financed largely by savings deposited by individuals in banks and insurance companies or retained by companies out of their own profits, is dragging along at about 11%, a rate that satisfies no one. U.S. productivity, as measured by output per man-hour worked, is still the highest in the world. In 1979 the productivity of an American worker was still 13% higher than that of a West German, and 34% higher than that of a Japanese. But U.S. productivity growth has been slowing since the 1960s, and in 1980 it actually...
...prolific is nothing-it fails to distinguish an artist from a grunion-but Nevelson's abundant output has also been, until quite recently, strictly edited, so that it bears an imposing sense of consistency and energy. There are 80-year-old artists who are content to repeat their own formal inventions as clichés. Most, though not all, of Nevelson's work is free from that tendency. If she is not one of the great formal innovators of modern sculpture-and her contribution to its syntax cannot fairly be compared with Picasso's, Tatlin...
...praise, and her extreme popularity among collectors has introduced other problems. A fine line exists between fecundity and overproduction, and one may suspect that Nevelson's very success has edged her across it, demanding-in contrast with her actual masterpieces like Mrs. N's Palace-a steady output of second-line goods to keep the market happy. It is hardly imaginable that, 20 years from now, anyone except dealers will be taking Nevelson's abundant prints and recent multiples very seriously...
