作者解释了什么是国家债务和赤字，什么不是。有一件事他们并不像我们想象的那么大。另一件事他们不是我们孙子肩上的负担。它们是一种潜在的经济增长融资手段。海尔布隆纳和伯恩斯坦并没有对债务和赤字不屑一顾。他们写道：“对我们目前恐惧的心理状态的唯一补救办法是简单而准确的解释，能够消除不理智的恐慌的事实，以及在最怀疑的检验下经得起考验的论点。"
The authors explain what national debts and deficits are, and what they are not. One thing they are not nearly as big as we think. Another thing they are not is a burden on the shoulders of our grandchildren. And one thing they are is a potential means of financing economic growth. Heilbroner and Bernstein do not shrug aside the debt and deficit. "The only remedy for our present frightened state of mind", they write, "is explanations that are simple but accurate, facts that will defuse unreasoning panic, and arguments that will stand up under the most skeptical examination."
