David Levy (economist)

Levy was appointed by President Clinton to the commission to Study Capital Budgeting in 1997^[4] and served on the federal government's Competitive Policy Council Infrastructure Subcouncil. He has given briefings and testimony to members of Congress.^[5]

Levy is the coauthor, with Jay Levy, of Profits and the Future of American Society, published by HarperCollins in 1983.^[6] Forbes magazine praised the book for explaining "why squeezing business profits for the alleged benefit of the poor or of the working man is a self-defeating exercise. It leads not to the satisfaction of human needs but to inflation and unemployment."^[7]
