Demographics of Innovation takes a deep, investigative look at the link between economic growth, innovation, vitality and entrepreneurship in an aging population, and provides smart strategy for the future. Written by a Stanford-trained economist and demographics expert, who is also a prominent internet entrepreneur, this book examines demographic trends across nations and digs into the divergence to find awakening innovation. An aging population hampers growth; while many are focused on the care-related financial burden, few have fully explored the ways in which a seismic demographic shift could transform the face of global business. This book charts the trends, connects the dots and reveals which nations will be best placed to build an innovation economy and grow in the future. Global business is set to undergo a revolution as aging populations mired in old thinking become left behind by younger, brighter, more forward-looking generations. Innovation loss is the first step in stagnation, so the question becomes: who will win and who will lose in this new world order? This book presents clear analysis of the coming demographic bomb, and proposes insightful strategy for the short and long term. Delve into the aging of society and the economic issues it creates Learn how shifting demographics affects innovation and prosperity Examine trends in growth, policy and more alongside the rise in average age Make smarter planning decisions in light of the changing population The problems of overpopulation pale in comparison to the problem of aging on a massive global scale. Demographics dictate growth rates, economic equilibrium, interest rates and so much more. Demographics of Innovation provides thought-provoking analysis and strategy for policy makers, business leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and everyone concerned about planning for an uncertain future.Technological innovationsEconomic aspectsPopulationEconomic aspectsTechnological innovationsEconomic aspects.PopulationEconomic aspects.338.064BUS004000bisacshLiang James Jianzhang1969-1580284MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796521103321The demographics of innovation3861105UNINA04793nam 2200721Ia 450 991078281410332120200520144314.01-282-07029-097866120702970-226-94492-110.7208/9780226944920(CKB)1000000000725010(EBL)432317(OCoLC)368762807(SSID)ssj0000139512(PQKBManifestationID)11154896(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000139512(PQKBWorkID)10010130(PQKB)10084161(MiAaPQ)EBC432317(DE-B1597)535516(OCoLC)1055474170(DE-B1597)9780226944920(Au-PeEL)EBL432317(CaPaEBR)ebr10286145(CaONFJC)MIL207029(EXLCZ)99100000000072501019991217d2000 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrDirt and desire[electronic resource] reconstructing southern women's writing, 1930-1990 /Patricia YaegerChicago University of Chicago Press20001 online resource (344 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-226-94491-3 0-226-94490-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Frontmatter -- Contents -- Prologue -- Chapter One Southern Women Writers: A Confederacy of Water Moccasins -- Chapter Two.

Studying the Waffle house Chain, or Dirt as Desire in Their Eyes Were Watching God -- Notes -- References -- IndexThe story of southern writing-the Dixie Limited, if you will-runs along an iron path: an official narrative of a literature about community, about place and the past, about miscegenation, white patriarchy, and the epic of race. Patricia Yaeger dynamites the rails, providing an entirely new set of categories through which to understand southern literature and culture. For Yaeger, works by black and white southern women writers reveal a shared obsession with monstrosity and the grotesque and with the strange zones of contact between black and white, such as the daily trauma of underpaid labor and the workings of racial and gender politics in the unnoticed yet all too familiar everyday. Yaeger also excavates a southern fascination with dirt-who owns it, who cleans it, and whose bodies are buried in it. Yaeger's brilliant, theoretically informed readings of Zora Neale Hurston, Harper Lee, Carson McCullers, Toni Morrison, Flannery O'Connor, Alice Walker, and Eudora Welty (among many others) explode the mystifications of southern literary tradition and forge a new path for southern studies. The book won the Barbara Perkins and George Perkins Award given by the Society for the Study of Narrative Literature.American fictionSouthern StatesHistory and criticismWomen and literatureSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryAmerican fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticismAmerican fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismRace in literatureSouthern StatesIn literature20th century, southern writing, south, women, gender studies, femininity, feminism, literature, literary, community, miscegenation, race, racism, white patriarchy, whiteness, black writers, monstrosity, grotesque, trauma, unpaid labor, slavery, slaves, dirt, dirty, united states of america, usa, american, zora neale hurston, toni morrison, harper lee, carson mccullers, narrative, stories, alice walker, eudora welty, tradition, fiction, ownership, bodies, physicality.American fictionHistory and criticism.Women and literatureHistoryAmerican fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticism.American fictionHistory and criticism.Race in literature.810.99287Yaeger Patricia456851MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782814103321Dirt and desire977336UNINA
