Rukeyser Warns of Peril The real danger to the American economy is that the nation may try to recover too quickly from its financial problems and that could trigger a new and worse round of woes, economic analyst Louis Rukeyser says. Rukeyser, host of public televisions popular Wall Street Week, gave the 1977 Vickers Memorial Lecture Tuesday night at the University of Kansas. He said the remainder of this year will be more financially stable than the last half of 1976. Beyond that, he predicted a long battle with inflation and continued high unemployment, but he described prospects as a long way from disastrous. Rukeyser said he was optimistic over expanding markets, a housing boom, more jobs and an American people ready to face new economic challenges if they get the right political leadership.

Traditional talk about political realities has to be put aside if we are really going to face economic problems for a change, Rukeyser said.
