![]() A critical voice in the most pressing debates of our time, 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 Gordon contends that the nation’s productivity growth will be further held back by the headwinds of rising inequality, stagnating education, an aging population, and the rising debt of college students and the federal government, and that we must find new solutions. But has that era of unprecedented growth come to an end? Weaving together a vivid narrative, historical anecdotes, and economic analysis, The Rise and Fall of American Growth challenges the view that economic growth will continue unabated, and demonstrates that the life-altering scale of innovations between 18 cannot be repeated. Electric lighting, indoor plumbing, motor vehicles, air travel, and television transformed households and workplaces. In the century after the Civil War, an economic revolution improved the American standard of living in ways previously unimaginable. ![]() ![]() ![]() The English translation by Ken Liu was published by Tor Books in 2014.

It is seldom possible, however, to do so by means of written statements or arguments since to the suspended judgment it always seems plausible to say that the author was dishonest or deluded, and, therefore, his evidence was tainted. Were it possible to carry conviction to another by means of reasoned arguments and detailed instances, this book would be many times its size. There is a treasure in it, a clearly defined road to the realization of your dreams. It gives you an account of the mechanism used in the production of the visible world.
