Crisis seems to follow crisis. Inequality is rising, growth is stagnant, the environment is suffering, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed every crack in the system. We hear more calls for radical change, even the overthrow of capitalism. But the answer to our problems is not revolution. The answer is to create a better capitalism by understanding and harnessing the power of creative destruction - innovation that disrupts, but that over the past 200 years has also lifted societies to previously unimagined prosperity.

To explain, Philippe Aghion, Celine Antonin, and Simon Bunel draw on cutting-edge theory and evidence to examine today's most fundamental economic questions, including the roots of growth and inequality, competition and globalization, the determinants of health and happiness, technological revolutions, secular stagnation, middle-income traps, climate change, and how to recover from economic shocks. They show that we owe our modern standard of living to innovations enabled by free-market capitalism. But we also need state intervention with the appropriate checks and balances. A powerful and ambitious reappraisal of the foundations of economic success and a blueprint for change, The Power of Creative Destruction shows that a fair and prosperous future is ultimately ours to make.

Propery scrutiny needs to be applied to this book...

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 30 octobre 2021

This was an interesting book to read but I was somewhat disappointed having read rave reviews in the serious press. There are several issues. Firstly the central premise of the book is not original. Economists are agreed that there are two main sources of GDP growth (1) increasing inputs of land, labour and capital. Following the industrial revolution capital accumulation played a key role but so too did the expansion of the population and in particular the skill set/education of the labour force (2) total factor productivity (TFP) growth - this is usually calculated as the residual source of growth that cannot be attributed to (1), however it is rightly seen as the highest 'quality' source of growth as it is not necessarily subject to the same law of diminishing returns that impact (1) i.e. you cannot increase the proportion of the population going to university for ever. TFP is generally seen as encompassing both technological innovations and new ways of organising/doing things (i.e. Taylorism). Secondly, and this follows from the first point is that the authors use a lot of 'straw men' arguments to make themselves sound insightful. As well as my first point there are two glaring examples: the distinction and logic of basic research vs applied research - this is widely known - and also the clear and well understood point that inventing new machines does not cause unemployment as the Luddites claimed (yes there is a silly quotation from Bill Gates about taxing robots but 99.9% of economists are agreed that technology does not cause unemployment). Thirdly, I think the authors have latched on to Schumpeter's 'creative destruction' as a way to provide a catchy title and label throughout the book. In fact they are basically just using the term as a synonym for innovation. Strictly speaking this is not correct - Schumpeter was proposing a narrow way of talking about innovation and using the term would exclude the ongoing innovation that incrementalists would highlight. Fourthly, I think the authors are quite wrong to claim that the evidence that technological innovation is subject to declining returns is weak. On the contrary I think the evidence is quite clear - see the work of Robert Gordon or Jonathan Huebner. Consider the development of electricity and the internal combustion engine (both within a decade of each other in the nineteenth century) - in the last 50 years there have not been such revolutionary developments although to be sure there have been some advances. The authors mention pharmaceuticals as a possible example but then ignore it. The declining productivity of R&D in pharmaceuticals is quite clear. The vast majority of NCEs are me-too drugs whereas almost all the biggest innovations in the industry i.e. discovery of penicillin occurred when R&D budgets were a fraction of what they are today. To date the sequencing of the human genome has not had the transformative effect on R&D productivity that some claimed at the time. Fifthly I dislike the methodology of the book (a) it is teleological. For example they harp on about DARPA as a huge success. No doubt there is much to this - private industry would tend not to fund these types of research. However I would be willing to bet that if this book was written in the 1980s it would have gone all in on the success of MITI just as Chalmers Johnson did at the time. Quite funny that now the US is seen as having a decent industrial policy when all the policy wonks in the 1980s said it was Japan who had the right economic model (b) a lot of the references are to studies conducted by the authors themselves - so the argument is essentially circular. I got the clear impression that there was little attempt to seek to falsify the hypothesis which would be the hallmark of the scientific effort. Sixthly, the breadth of the book is both a blessing and a curse. It is admirable that the authors should try to extend their augments into as a many areas as possible. Unfortunately they have exposed their lack of expertise in many of these areas. For instance they discuss Keynes's General Theory but later say that the theory ran into problems in open economies such as Ireland. Anyone familiar with The General Theory would know that in it Keynes assumed a closed economy - it could never work (even on it's own terms) in an open economy for precisely that reason. Also the New Deal which was also mentioned is not properly discussed - under Roosevelt fiscal policy was actually tightened - see the seminal article by E. Carey Brown published in 1956 if you doubt this. Besides all these points I had a lot of other issues with the evidence presented in this book but that does not mean I do not think that innovation is not important. On the contrary as I stated at the beginning it is clearly a key part of TFP growth and we should be thinking how to stimulate this through institutional reforms and if carefully designed the tax system. However no where to the authors highlight the cost and in particular the opportunity cost of the various spending (and tax reduction) commitments they argue in favour of. This is another grave omission.

Aspettative alte. Delusione

Commenté en Italie le 15 août 2021

Achat vérifié

Come spesso accade ciò che potrebbe tranquillamente esser scritto in un articolo si trasforma in un libro. Tanti dati statistici, qualche concetto interessante ma veramente poca sostanza. Aspettative molto alte, essendo un libro post-covid. Non fornisce nessuna soluzione al post capitalismo ma si limita a indicare cose scontate.

Are you concerned about captitalism?

Commenté en Espagne le 15 octobre 2021

A fresh innovative analysis on economic growth. It is provocative and rigorous, truly a reference in our reflections on the future of our societies, while questioning some current "politically correct" narratives, such as inequality. It is simply a must-read.
