Opis książki

A groundbreaking study that shows how countries can create innovative, production-based economies for the twenty-first century

Achieving economic growth is one of today's key challenges. In this groundbreaking book, Michael Best argues that to understand how successful growth happens we need an economic framework that focuses on production, governance, and skills.

This production-centric framework is the culmination of three simultaneous journeys. The first has been Best's visits to hundreds of factories worldwide, starting early as the son of a labor organizer and continuing through his work as an academic and industrial consultant. The second is a survey of two hundred years of economic thought from Babbage to Krugman, with stops along the way for Marx, Marshall, Young, Penrose, Richardson, Schumpeter, Kuznets, Abramovitz, Keynes, and Jacobs. The third is a tour of historical episodes of successful and failed transformations, focusing sharply on three core elements-the production system, business organization, and skill formation-and their interconnections.

Best makes the case that government should create the institutional infrastructures needed to support these elements and their interconnections rather than subsidize individual enterprises. The power of Best's alternative framework is illustrated by case studies of transformative experiences previously regarded as economic "miracles": America's World War II industrial buildup, Germany's postwar recovery, Greater Boston's innovation system, Ireland's tech-sector boom, and the rise of the Asian Tigers and China.

Accessible and engaging, How Growth Really Happens is required reading for anyone who wants to advance today's crucial debates about industrial policy, free trade, outsourcing, and the future of work. "Winner of the 2018 Schumpeter Prize Competition, International Joseph A. Schumpeter Society" "A book that stretches from entrepreneurship in biotechnology in Massachusetts to engineering companies in Monaghan indicates a rare breadth of economic analysis. Analysis of both Irish success in medical devices and the birth of the American aviation and aerospace industry shows a notable depth of reflection on the cause of business growth. How Growth Really Happens . . . includes all of these case studies and demonstrates all of these qualities."---Paschal Donohoe, The Irish Times "An excellent analysis of the paramount link between production, governance, and skills in industrial transformation."---Rajah Rasiah, Asia Pacific Business Review "Best discerns and deciphers key economic trends at critical junctures in world history, and we should warmly welcome his willingness to sacrifice many of the sacred cows of economics on the altar of greater understanding."---Michael M. Rosen, Weekly Standard "What I rather liked about this book is its defence of a 'production-centric' view of the modern economy."---Andrew Hilton, Financial World
