The Rise and Fall of American Growth pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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.
易讀。
評分看完之後意識到這本書麵嚮的群體是估計是大眾……圖錶簡單,描述詳盡,也不需要太多製度背景。對於普通美國傢庭從1870年到2014年生活變遷史的描寫尤其精彩。不過因為作者是做宏觀的,對相當多的微觀美國經濟史研究也沒有考慮,所以一些結論和政策建議我隻能打個問號。

評分這本書是顛覆性的,作者挑戰現代經濟增長理論的兩個根本假設,消費等於生活標準(Solow56, Swan56)和技術進步(Romer86,90)。在全世界的增長大牛都在努力迴應這本書的時候(acemoglu, aghion, bloom, klenow, jones, van reenen,...),豆瓣評分7.8?
1870—1970年是美国的“特殊世纪”,劳动生产率加速提升,人民生活水平得到改善。 1928—1950年的“大跨越”时期,美国劳动生产率在短短22年间翻了一番。 一.技术创新,大萧条和二战是促成这个经济奇迹的最重要原因。 1. 技术创新 全要素生产率的提高。主要包含了技术进步,也...
評分这不是个完整的书评。主要是看了豆瓣上的短评觉得误解很多,所以忍不住想澄清一下。如果你只是想了解下这本书对最新增长研究的影响,可以只看 section 二,3)。 如果没时间读书,可以看Gordon 12年的 nber working paper 。 一,Brief summary of the book: 1) From Growth to...
評分这是一本比较难读的书,里面汇总了大量的数据和图表,读起来的时候需要人非常的专注,要求有很高的关注度,这种长时间的阅读真是对自己的一种考验,还好,断断续续,一章一章的,慢慢的读完啦,还是比较要成就感。 比较起美国初期的生活条件,我们现在的生活还是幸福很多,但是...

評分以我们有限的生命长度,其实经常会出现一些幻觉。 尤其是近二三十年来,计算机、通信、互联网、智能手机、人工智能等前赴后继地构成了新一轮科技发展浪潮,并且创造了很多财富和被这些财富支撑的巨头企业,以至于让我们这些身处其中的人产生了一个幻觉:好像科技发展的浪潮是轻...
