The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The U.S. Standard of Living Since the Civil War

byRobert J. Gordon

Focused on the U.S. Standard of Living Since the Civil War, The Rise and Fall of American Growth brings Robert J. Gordon's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of business & economics and history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
