Why Economies Grow: The Forces That Shape Prosperity and How We Can Get Them Working Again Hardcover - 2002

by Madrick, Jeffrey G

  • Used
  • Hardcover

America takes for granted that new technologies drive economic growth. Madrick argues that technological innovation has never been the cause of economic growth: it is a necessary condition but hardly a sufficient one. Madrick's surprising thesis is that the process of growth is more complex than most pundits, business journalists, and even economists believe--but it can be understood.
