Recommendation
The term “creative destruction” describes the sometimes painful shift of capital, labor and assets to higher levels of dynamism and productivity. This reallocation across an economy augurs stronger long-run growth and increasingly vibrant activity, particularly if new companies displace legacy firms. Some blame sluggish US growth since 2006 on a lack of creative destruction. But economists Chang-Tai Hsieh and Peter J. Klenow disagree. Their technically complex report on the ebb and flow of an economy will interest researchers and analysts.
