"From the start of his fabled career, Alan Greenspan has been famous for his deep understanding of even the most arcane corners of the American economy and his restless curiousity to know even more. To the extent possible, he has made a science of understanding how the U.S. economy works, almost as a living organism. 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 why does it spread more equally in some societies than in others? In Capitalism in America, Greenspan and the celebrated historian and Economist journalist Adran Wooldridge distill decades of grappling with these questions into a thrilling and profound master reckoning with the decisive drivers of the U.S. economy over the course of the country's history. They unfold a tale of vast landscapes, titanic figures, and triumphant breakthroughs 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 mood swings in its openness to global trade. But, abvove all, to read Capitalism in America is to be deeply stirred by the millions of ordinary Americans who have driven this country to extraordinary 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 new people and ideas. Often messy and painful, creative destruction has also lifted American standards of living to unprecedented heights. Justice and human decency demand protection from the pain of change, but the United States has always accepted more pain for more gain, and its vaunted rise and the challenges faced depend on this legacy. In the current moment, stalling productivity growth has stirred up populist furies. There's no better time 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 global leadership pass to other, less democratic, powers." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
