Construction Accounting & Taxation
By Joseph Natarelli, National Construction Industry Group Leader & Anirban Basu, Chief Construction Economist
Excerpt:

Whether or not people agree with such aggressive policymaking, we find ourselves in the midst of the second longest economic expansion cycle on record.
