THE RISE AND FALL OF AMERICAN GROWTH - ROBERT J...

In the century after the Civil War  an economic revolution improved the American standard of
living in ways previously unimaginable. Electric lighting  indoor plumbing  home appliances 
motor vehicles  air travel  air conditioning  and television transformed households and
workplaces. With medical advances  life expectancy between 1870 and 1970 grew from forty-five
to seventy-two years. Weaving together a vivid narrative  historical anecdotes  and economic
analysis  The Rise and Fall of American Growth provides an in-depth account of this momentous
era. But has that era of unprecedented growth come to an end? A critical voice in the debates
over economic stagnation  The Rise and Fall of American Growth is at once a tribute to a
century of radical change and a harbinger of tougher times to come.
