Growth Cycles And Multisectoral Economics The Goodwin Tradition

Explores how runes relate to the cycles of time

Policy makers–Republican and Democrat, liberal and conservative–call for federal intervention to fund emerging high-growth industries, believing they are starved for capital. Congressional hearings, newspapers, industry newsletters, and government reports all assert that capital gaps exist for these firms. But the widely held belief that emerging high-growth firms like those in high technology–so vital to the growth of the U.S. economy–face severe capital gaps, preventing them from starting up or growing to their full potential, is false. This book systematically brings together, for the first time, disparate sources of information from a wide variety of disciplines and synthesizes them into a compelling case against federal intervention.
