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 J. Baumol, Robert E. Litan, and Carl J. 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 characterize Good Capitalismthe right blend of entrepreneurial and established firms, which can vary among countriesas 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 the 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 pathbreaking book is a must read for anyone who cares about global growth and how to ensure Americas economic future. 606 $aCapitalism 606 $aEntrepreneurship 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCapitalism. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 676 $a330.12/2 700 $aBaumol$b William J$0268191 701 $aLitan$b Robert E.$f1950-$0127486 701 $aSchramm$b Carl J$0437675 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451361903321 996 $aGood capitalism, bad capitalism, and the economics of growth and prosperity$914364 997 $aUNINA
