In this book, Robert Boyer follows the origins, course and collapse
of the 'new economy' and proposes a new interpretation of US
dynamism during the 1990s. He argues that the diffusion of
information and communication technologies is only part of a story
that also requires understanding of the transformation of the
financial system, the reorganization of the management of firms and
the emergence of a new policy mix. The book includes a long-term
retrospective analysis of technological innovation, and an
international comparison of OECD countries delivers an
unconventional and critical assessment of the hope and the hype of
the 'new economy'. The book proposes that the US way is not
necessarily the only efficient one, as demonstrated by the
experience of the Nordic countries, which manage to combine
economic efficiency with social justice. The author argues that
European economies would do well to take note and to explore a
promising growth regime for the twenty-first century, one built
upon health, education, training and leisure, this comprising the
'anthropogenetic model'. The Future of Economic Growth is a
challenging and thought-provoking book, and as such will be of
interest to many academics, researchers and students within the
field of economics. It will be particularly relevant to those with
an interest in macroeconomics, industrial organisation and the
theory of the firm, and growth theory.
