Imagine this: a mere century ago, the purchasing power of an average American was one-tenth of what it is today. But what will it take to sustain that growth through the next century? And what can be said about economic growth to aspiring nations seeking higher standards of living for their citizens? In this important book, William Baumol, Robert Litan, and Carl Schramm contend that the answers to these questions lie within capitalist economies, though many observers make the mistake of believing that capitalism is of a single kind. Writing in an accessible style, the authors dispel that myth, documenting four different varieties of capitalism, some "Good" and some "Bad" for growth. The authors identify the conditions that characterise Good Capitalism: the right blend of entrepreneurial and established firms, which can vary among countries; as well as the features of Bad Capitalism. They examine how countries catching up to the United States can move faster toward the economic frontier, while laying out the need for United States itself to stick to and reinforce the recipe for growth that has enabled it to be the leading economic force in the world. This path-breaking book is a must read for any one who cares about global growth and how to ensure America's economic future.

本書寫作時間大約是2005年-2006年,而上周,2014.7.19期 《Economist》本期封麵專題是:米國經濟的潛在增長率已降低,單位勞動生産力已下降,所以麵臨著明明失業率已很低、但GDP徘徊不前的情況(2014年上半年美帝GDP很糟)。感覺作者洋洋灑灑地寫瞭280頁,過瞭10年時間,沒想到卻是一場空。從2014年嚮前看去,未來一片黯淡。 PS:本書最好的部分應屬對專利製度的批判和對如何讓勝利者on their toe去持續競爭,因為近年來,失敗的例子太多瞭。拿什麼纔能拯救資本主義精神?
