Although the economy hasn't always been the focus of the current vicious and protracted presidential campaign, it will be among the most important challenges facing the next president. With that in mind, the liberal-leaning Brookings Institution has issued a series of reports on economic issues the next president will face, including recommended solutions.

Among the list—which was consolidated into nine issues in GlobeSt.com's sister publication, ALM's Think Advisor—were topics ranging from fixing crumbling infrastructure to creating jobs for the poor and middle class, reforming health care and addressing the swelling levels of college debt.

“The next president needs to frame infrastructure as an investment, not as spending” and create “programs to maximize return on investment, not to just seek out shovel-ready projects,” wrote Aaron Klein, policy director of the Brookings Initiative on Business and Public Policy.
