The Rise and Fall of American Growth pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 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.
在《理性客观派》之后,这本书让我对未来有一点淡淡的担忧。也许,我们的第一个黄金时代已经过去,而下一个黄金时代还不知道什么时候才会来。
评分易读。
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
评分一部悲观现实主义美国经济学史 美国经济遇到的很多问题,分析这些问题,不仅仅对美国人有意义,整个全球经济都可能会遇到相似的挑战。那么回顾美国增长的起落,对我们有什么启示?如果美国经济增速放缓,意味着中国的经济增速早晚也会放缓,因为我们也会遇到相似的“顶头风”。狂飙突进的高速经济增长时代已经一去不复返了,再去追求过高的经济增长速度,已经没有任何意义。我们已经跑完了400米跨栏,现在比的是跑马拉松。不能再按照跑跨栏的节奏参加比赛了,未来的竞赛,比的是耐力和毅力,更重要的是要保持长期、稳定、持续和平衡的经济发展。

评分这是一部美国经济发展的大部头。 1770年之前上千年几乎没有经济增长,在1870年之前的过渡世纪只是缓慢增长,而在截止1970年的这个世纪中发生了显著的快速增长,1970年之后增长再次放缓。1870至1970年的快速发展得益于电气化和涡轮发动机这两项巨大发明。1970年后的网络和计算机...
评分 评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...
