Gordon On Increment 2
PBS covers Bob Gordon's The Rise together with Fall of American Growth.
[Embedded video. These aren't picked upward when other sources alternative upward the blog, then come dorsum to the original if yous don't run into the video.]
PBS together with Paul Solman did a non bad job, peculiarly relative to the commons standards of economic science coverage inwards the media. OK, non perfect -- they livened it upward past times tying it to partisan politics a flake to a greater extent than than they should have, though far less than usual.
I don't (yet, maybe) concur amongst Bob. I yet promise that the mastery of data together with biological scientific discipline tin attain results similar the mastery of electromagnetism together with fossil fuels did earlier. I yet suspect that tedious growth is resulting from government-induced sclerosis rather than an absence of practiced ideas inwards a smoothly surgical procedure economy. But Bob has us talking virtually The Crucial Issue: long term growth, together with its source inwards productivity. The 1870-1970 miracle was non virtually whether the federal funds charge per unit of measurement was 0.25% higher or lower. And the number is non virtually opinions, similar the ones I simply offered, but facts together with research, which Bob offers.
The number of hereafter long-term growth is tied amongst the number of measurement, something else that Bob has championed over the years. gross domestic product is good designed to mensurate steel per worker. Information, wellness together with lifespan increases are much to a greater extent than poorly measured. This is already a work inwards long-term comparisons. In the video, Bob points to lite every bit the greatest invention. The cost of lite has fallen past times a constituent of thousands since the historic menstruum of candles, to the betoken where lite consumption is a petty component subdivision of GDP. It's a worse work every bit all the non bad materials becomes free. I suspect that we'll convey to displace to mensurate consumer surplus non simply the marketplace value of goods together with services.
And congratulations to Bob. The economic science profession tends to focus on the immature rise stars, but he offers inspiration that economists tin attain magnum opuses of deep touching on at whatever betoken inwards a career.
Disclosure: I haven't read the majority yet, but it is on overstep of the pile. More when I finish. Ed Glaeser has an first-class review.
Update: Tyler Cowen's review, inwards Foreign Affairs
