与20世纪90年代初相比，当时对美国工业全球“竞争力”的担忧达到了焦虑的顶峰，20世纪90年代后期的情况看起来要好得多。但自20世纪70年代以来，生产率的总体增长率一直处于较低水平，使许多美国人的生活水平几乎没有改善。然而，最近，据报道，重要行业的生产率出现了新的显著提高。在本书中，这方面的一位权威人士搜索了最近的五个成功案例，寻找塑造新经济增长战略的线索。这些报告指出了一个新的增长议程，针对美国经济在可预见的未来将持续存在的波动和不可预测的情况。议程的核心是一项关于“新经济公民”的建议--一种关于权利、责任和资源的新观点，这种观点应该给予那些将为新世纪贡献自己思想和劳动的人。
Compared to the early 1990s, when concerns about the global "competitiveness" of US industries reached an anxiety-laden peak, the later years of the 1990s have looked much better. But the overall rate of productivity growth has been stuck at a low level since the 1970s, leaving many Americans with little or no improvement in their living standards. Recently, however, significant new productivity gains have been reported in important industries. In this book, an authority on this issue searches five recent success stories for clues on shaping new strategy for economic growth. These reports point to a new agenda for growth, tailored to the volatile, unpredictable conditions that will persist in the American economy for the foreseeable future. At the heart of the agenda is a proposal for a "new economic citizenship" - a new view of the rights, responsibilities and resources that shoud be accorded to those who will contribute their ideas and labour to the new century.
