To the extent possible, he has made a science of understanding how the US economy works almost as a living organism?how it grows and changes, surges and stalls. He has made a particular study of the question of productivity growth, at the heart of which is the riddle of innovation. Where does innovation come from, and how does it spread through a society? And why do some eras see the fruits of innovation spread more democratically, and others, including our own, see the opposite?In Capitalism in America, Greenspan distills a lifetime of grappling with these questions into a thrilling and profound master reckoning with the decisive drivers of the US economy over the course of its history. In partnership with the celebrated Economist journalist and historian Adrian Wooldridge, he unfolds a tale involving vast landscapes, titanic figures, triumphant breakthroughs, enlightenment ideals as well as terrible moral failings. Every crucial debate is here?from the role of slavery in the antebellum Southern economy to the real impact of FDR's New Deal to America's violent mood swings in its openness to global trade and its impact. But to read Capitalism in America is above all to be stirred deeply by the extraordinary productive energies unleashed by millions of ordinary Americans that have driven this country to unprecedented heights of power and prosperity.At heart, the authors argue, America's genius has been its unique tolerance for the effects of creative destruction, the ceaseless churn of the old giving way to the new, driven by new people and new ideas. Often messy and painful, creative destruction has also lifted almost all Americans to standards of living unimaginable to even the wealthiest citizens of the world a few generations past. A sense of justice and human decency demands that those who bear the brunt of the pain of change be protected, but America has always accepted more pain for more gain, and its vaunted rise cannot otherwise be understood, or its challenges faced, without recognizing this legacy. For now, in our time, productivity growth has stalled again, stirring up the populist furies. There's no better moment to apply the lessons of history to the most pressing question we face, that of whether the United States will preserve its preeminence, or see its leadership pass to other, inevitably less democratic powers. 620 $aUS$dNew York$3VANL000011 700 1$aGreenspan$bAlan$3VANV202942$01244232 701 1$aWooldridge$bAdrian$3VANV202943$0540525 702 1$aPorter$bRay$3VANV202944$4550 712 $aPenguin Books $3VANV108312$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20250404$gRICA 856 4 $uhttps://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?custid=s7606536&authtype=ip,sso&direct=true&site=ehost-live&scope=site&db=nlabk&db=nlebk&AN=1914476$zAudiobook-Accesso attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o Shibboleth 899 $aBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI ECONOMIA$1IT-CE0106$2VAN03 912 $fN 912 $aVAN00247951 950 $aBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI ECONOMIA$d03PREST AUDIOBOOK Eco $e03 33584 20220707 996 $aCapitalism in America$92886402 997 $aUNICAMPANIA
