With the US economy in a state of sluggish growth since the 2007–2009 recession, the prospects for future advances raise much speculation. In this revealing article, Professor Robert J. Gordon offers an informed assessment of the factors that create high growth in the economy. He argues that past technology innovations had a greater impact on productivity than more recent changes have had today. While Gordon does expect emerging technologies such as robotics to aid future growth, he is pessimistic that strong productivity results will return before 2040. getAbstract recommends this insightful perspective to business executives, economists, policy makers and investors.
