The Rise and Fall of American Growth pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
In the century after the Civil War, an economic revolution improved the American standard of living in ways previously unimaginable. Electric lighting, indoor plumbing, home appliances, motor vehicles, air travel, air conditioning, and television transformed households and workplaces. With medical advances, life expectancy between 1870 and 1970 grew from forty-five to seventy-two years. Weaving together a vivid narrative, historical anecdotes, and economic analysis, The Rise and Fall of American Growth provides an in-depth account of this momentous era. But has that era of unprecedented growth come to an end?
Gordon challenges the view that economic growth can or will continue unabated, and he demonstrates that the life-altering scale of innovations between 1870 and 1970 can't be repeated. He contends that the nation's productivity growth, which has already slowed to a crawl, will be further held back by the vexing headwinds of rising inequality, stagnating education, an aging population, and the rising debt of college students and the federal government. Gordon warns that the younger generation may be the first in American history that fails to exceed their parents' standard of living, and that rather than depend on the great advances of the past, we must find new solutions to overcome the challenges facing us.
A critical voice in the debates over economic stagnation, The Rise and Fall of American Growth is at once a tribute to a century of radical change and a harbinger of tougher times to come.
Robert J. Gordon is the Stanley G. Harris Professor in the Social Sciences at Northwestern University. His books include Productivity Growth, Inflation, and Unemployment and Macroeconomics. Gordon was included in the 2013 Bloomberg list of the nation's most influential thinkers.
这本书是颠覆性的,作者挑战现代经济增长理论的两个根本假设,消费等于生活标准(Solow56, Swan56)和技术进步(Romer86,90)。在全世界的增长大牛都在努力回应这本书的时候(acemoglu, aghion, bloom, klenow, jones, van reenen,...),豆瓣评分7.8?
评分读了基本论点,大致了解美国社会基本发展情况。不得不感慨,穿越个啥啊,生活在现代世界的我们如果穿越回古代,脱离了工业社会的种种便利,根本就是废柴。
评分优点和缺点都在于细节多,大量描述数据捕捉不到的生活质量提升,详尽但有点像冗长主观的忆苦思甜录。至于对未来的预测,随便一看就好。
评分写大众生活的变化很精彩,但如果能够再聚焦、野心小点,以及最后不要一堆片汤话就好了
评分易读。
