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?
Gordon challenges the view that economic growth can or will continue unabated, and he demonstrates that the life-altering scale of innovations between 1870 and 1970 can't be repeated. He contends that the nation's productivity growth, which has already slowed to a crawl, will be further held back by the vexing headwinds of rising inequality, stagnating education, an aging population, and the rising debt of college students and the federal government. Gordon warns that the younger generation may be the first in American history that fails to exceed their parents' standard of living, and that rather than depend on the great advances of the past, we must find new solutions to overcome the challenges facing us.
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.

读后感
洋洋洒洒一百多年的美国发展史。感觉作者写过去比写现在更精彩… 非常喜欢书中细致入微的描写美国人民上世纪初生活的零零总总，方方面面，带我认识了上个世纪初的“亚马逊”-西尔斯(刚破产), 也让我认识到那个时期美国的城市生活与我们上个世纪七八十年代的城市生活是多么地相...
用户评价
易读。
评分优点和缺点都在于细节多，大量描述数据捕捉不到的生活质量提升，详尽但有点像冗长主观的忆苦思甜录。至于对未来的预测，随便一看就好。
评分看完之后意识到这本书面向的群体是估计是大众……图表简单，描述详尽，也不需要太多制度背景。对于普通美国家庭从1870年到2014年生活变迁史的描写尤其精彩。不过因为作者是做宏观的，对相当多的微观美国经济史研究也没有考虑，所以一些结论和政策建议我只能打个问号。
评分在《理性客观派》之后，这本书让我对未来有一点淡淡的担忧。也许，我们的第一个黄金时代已经过去，而下一个黄金时代还不知道什么时候才会来。
评分“We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters.”
