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.
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.

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?
評分優點和缺點都在於細節多,大量描述數據捕捉不到的生活質量提升,詳盡但有點像冗長主觀的憶苦思甜錄。至於對未來的預測,隨便一看就好。
評分“We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters.”
評分寫大眾生活的變化很精彩,但如果能夠再聚焦、野心小點,以及最後不要一堆片湯話就好瞭
評分在《理性客觀派》之後,這本書讓我對未來有一點淡淡的擔憂。也許,我們的第一個黃金時代已經過去,而下一個黃金時代還不知道什麼時候纔會來。
