This document discusses the economics of ideas, focusing on non-rivalrous and excludable goods like ideas. It introduces the concepts of rivalrous vs. non-rivalrous goods and how ideas are non-rivalrous but can be made excludable. This gives rise to increasing returns and imperfect competition in markets for ideas. The document also presents a basic Romer-style model of endogenous growth driven by increasing returns from new ideas. It questions whether growth will continue indefinitely and discusses challenges to US growth from factors like demographics, debt, and environmental constraints.
This document provides an overview and summary of key topics from Peter Thiel's CS183: Startup class at Stanford. Some of the main points discussed include:
- Technological progress has slowed significantly since the 1960s, except in the computer industry. Computer science is thus a logical starting place to drive new progress.
- Going from 0 to 1 (innovation) is qualitatively harder than going from 1 to n (copying and scaling existing ideas). Starting a successful company requires solving the difficult problem of 0 to 1 innovation.
- Startups are important because their small size allows them to have lower coordination costs and more flexibility than larger companies or governments. However, starting a startup also carries significant financial
Innovation and creativity produce new technology, entrepreneurship turns ideas and innovations into manifest everyday practice. It can be argued that entrepreneurship is the process by which the future is created from ideas and innovations. This study unit will use the creation of a new venture as a method of entrepreneurship, so called Quasi-Enterprise model of Private-Public-Partnership. The course will simulate the development of a new venture through the creative practices of the participants. In the process key theories and ideas will be presented and discussed. The structure is designed to support the kind of learning required, a cognitive structure emphasizing key concepts, themes and intellectual abilities. The module covers some fundamental concepts and trends in research in the field. Linkages are made with innovation, creativity and foresight. The module then explores the processes of entrepreneurship in the discovery, evaluation, and the exploitation of opportunities. This follows a logical sequence from initial ideas and innovation through the emergence and evaluation of the opportunity into a planned and shaped activity and into the implementation process.
This document provides an overview of emerging economy copycats (EECs), which are enterprises based in emerging economies that significantly imitate market leaders' products. It discusses how EECs have grown from duplicative imitators to creative imitators and innovators by developing capabilities and evolving their strategies. The document presents the CHAIN framework for understanding EEC capabilities and the STORM conditions that spur their growth. It analyzes the strategies of Samsung, Ranbaxy, Embraer, and other firms as examples and calls for further research on these understudied companies.
Emerging markets (popularly known as BRIC countries) will play more significant role, going forward. However the context for innovation is way different from developed economies. Innovating for emerging markets is been one of my favorite topics, made quite some study in this area. Most of my findings are available in the presentation below.
The Entrepreneurial Experience Concepts, Opportunities, and a Philosophy Of LifeTim R. Holcomb, Ph.D.
The document discusses the concepts of entrepreneurship and opportunities. It defines entrepreneurship as a dynamic process of vision, change and creation that requires passion towards new ideas and solutions. The document notes that entrepreneurship involves identifying opportunities, developing concepts, evaluating opportunities, and implementing plans. It also discusses what entrepreneurship is not, including some common myths. The document emphasizes that opportunities come from addressing unmet needs and circumstances that can improve something. It provides tips for recognizing and screening opportunities.

This is follow-up from the IBM Almaden Sept 27th meeting on "Regional Upward Spirals: The Co-Evolution of Future Technologies, Skills, Jobs, and Quality-of-Life"
The document discusses using appreciative inquiry (AI) to create a culture of innovation and sustainable value through identifying strengths. It provides examples of how AI was used by organizations like Fairmount Minerals to achieve 40% annual growth and sustainability awards. AI involves discovering an organization's strengths and envisioning future possibilities to design new approaches. The document argues this can elevate strengths, combine them to broader impacts, and extend organizations in a revolutionary way.
Introduction to Technology Entrepreneurship 2009Tarek Salah
This document outlines an agenda for a one-day technology entrepreneurship seminar for Egyptian university students. The seminar introduces concepts of entrepreneurship and innovation and covers topics such as the entrepreneurial process, opportunity identification, business strategy, business plan writing, startup valuation, and introduction to marketing. Case studies are used to illustrate lessons about innovation, product development, capital formation, and responding to competition. Trend analysis and Porter's five forces model are discussed as approaches for analyzing industries and opportunities.
The document discusses the concept of inductive reasoning and its application to innovation and business. It defines inductive reasoning as drawing conclusions or hypotheses based on observations, rather than deducing or testing hypotheses. The document argues that inductive reasoning is important for entrepreneurs and innovators to discover new opportunities by observing user behaviors and needs, rather than making assumptions. Examples are provided of companies like Procter & Gamble and Gillette gaining insights through observation that led to innovative new products and business models catering to unmet user needs.
Based on Erik Reinert, How Rich Countries Got Rich ... and Why Poor Countries Stay Poor (2007), London: Constable, Chapter 8: “Get the economic activities right”, or, the Lost Art of Creating Middle-Income Countries. Further discussion on how to make upper-middle income county out of middle-income trap. And how to synchronize different aspect on developmental policy in modern era.
The document discusses several perspectives on predicting the future including that the future is uncertain, predictions are often wrong, and it's difficult to foresee changes. It also explores trends related to population growth, economic development, environmental challenges, and reducing poverty that will impact the future global landscape. Futures thinking is presented as a way to stimulate imagination, encourage creativity, and help identify opportunities to shape the future in a wiser way.

Tom peters-reimagine-business-excellence-in-a-disruptive-age1093guest72d387
This document contains the slides from a presentation by Tom Peters on reimagining business for a disruptive age. Some of the key points discussed include: the need for constant innovation to ensure long-term success; acquiring companies for innovation rather than just market share; treating history as the enemy; encouraging dissent and weird ideas; and using technology like IS/IT as a disruptive tool to transform organizations. The presentation advocates embracing change, risk-taking, and focusing outside the box to find new opportunities for growth.
How To Deal With Disruption and How To Thrive In A Disruptive AgeFahri Karakas
We live in interesting and accelerated times. No professional today, whether in the public or private sector, can afford to be unaware of the pace of changes surrounding them. The pace of business change happening around us is relentless. The global forces of competition, innovation, and new technologies are creating new markets while eliminating others.
Multidimensional technological forces involving automation, 3D printing, augmented reality, machine learning, Industry 4.0, internet of things, and blockchain are rapidly transforming the future of work, organizations, and jobs.
We are at the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution. Developments in machine learning, robotics, nanotech, biotech, and 3D printing are all building on and amplifying one another. Technology is disruptive and it keeps transforming workplaces, business practices, and work processes. Companies are trying hard to survive — the only way to survive is to adapt, change, and innovate fast.
Companies are hungrier for smart ideas and innovations than ever before because they know they will go extinct unless they learn, improve, evolve, accelerate, and create constantly.
89% of Fortune 500 companies from 1955 are not on the list in 2014. The average age of a company listed on the S&P 500 was 67 years old in the 1920s. Right now this age is 15 years only and it keeps going down. In 2028, 40% of all S&P 500 companies are expected to disappear from this list. Similarly, 75% of S&P 500 firms are estimated to be replaced within 15 years.
In 1996, Kodak had nearly 150 thousand employees and $28 billion market cap. In 2008, the whole market was gone. The invention of digital cameras eliminated traditional camera businesses. A company that is not trying to disrupt itself is destined to be disrupted.
We are experiencing a digital revolution and the industrial paradigm is over. Mass production is becoming obsolete and 3D printers are replacing factories. Companies work in virtual networks and remote work is the order of the day.
Products are bought on demand and they are customized by default. We do not need huge scales of economy, organization charts, hierarchies, factories, standardized exams, or large production floors anymore.
We do not need cable TV, mass-market, and broadcast advertising. We are now experiencing a borderless, democratized, digital world where each individual can have a huge impact.
We can now create our own game in this world. We can design games, create our own blogs or podcasts or YouTube channel or raise funds on Kickstarter. We can write a book and explain ourselves to the world. We can create fresh and exciting digital products (training, courses, etc.) We live in a world where ideas can change people’s lives. This means all of us can create our own game.
It is impossible to imagine that the skills needed at work will remain the same in the new decade. The world is changing fast and we need to learn, re-invent, and disrupt ourselves every day.
Beating Schumpeter: Keynote at IBM Profession DayVujàdé
The document discusses Vujàdé, a company that provides innovation consulting, training, and co-creation services. It summarizes Jasper Bouwsma's keynote presentation at an IBM Profession Day on the topics of exponential change, disruption, and beating Schumpeter's theory of "creative destruction" through innovation. The presentation covers how technologies are developing exponentially, providing examples like mobile adoption and computing power. It also discusses challenges like staying ahead of disruption, the need for both incremental and radical innovation, and imagining new possibilities in fields like health, food, and the environment through an innovation lens.
1. This document summarizes notes from Peter Thiel's CS183: Startup class at Stanford. It discusses the history of technology and economic growth slowing in recent decades.
2. It argues that computer science offers a model for progress due to continued growth under Moore's Law. However, achieving "vertical" innovation from 0 to 1 is more difficult than scaling existing technologies from 1 to n.
3. The challenges of vertical progress include exceptionalism, the difficulty of teaching innovation, and the indeterminism of success for unprecedented ventures versus statistical analysis of scaling existing ideas. The future of technology growth remains uncertain between theories of convergence, cycles, collapse, or singularity.

What Will It Take to Build a Real Tech Ecosystem in Ukraine - Ukraine Financi...Vitaly Golomb
This document summarizes Vitaly Golomb's perspective on building a tech ecosystem in Ukraine. It notes that Ukraine has strong technical talent from its universities, a large pool of skilled IT professionals, and is a top outsourcing destination. However, Ukraine currently has no government programs or private capital to support startups, causing most technical talent to leave the country. The document advocates for Ukraine to implement tax incentive programs for individuals and venture capital funds, as well as direct government venture funding, based on models that successfully grew tech ecosystems in countries like the UK, Israel, and Singapore. This would allow Ukraine to retain its technical talent and build a self-sustaining startup culture.
- Adam Smith is considered the father of modern economics and authored The Wealth of Nations in 1776, which argued that individuals pursuing self-interest can benefit society through free market competition.
- Economics is the social science concerned with how individuals and societies satisfy unlimited wants with limited resources and make decisions about production, distribution, and consumption.
- Microeconomics examines individual markets and behavior of firms and consumers, while macroeconomics examines a nation's total output, employment, prices, and income distribution.
The document discusses the roles of entrepreneurs and factors that influence entrepreneurship. It defines an entrepreneur as someone who starts a business and takes on the risks of the venture. It explores characteristics commonly associated with entrepreneurs like optimism and self-confidence. The document also examines social and environmental factors that can encourage entrepreneurial spirit, such as having self-employed parents or experiences with family businesses. Finally, it looks at how communities and upbringing can shape an individual's interest in entrepreneurship.
This document discusses the importance of innovation and disruptive change. It makes three key points:
1) True innovation often comes from "high-risk, high-reward" ideas that have a low probability of success but could lead to major disruptions if they work. Incremental changes are not enough to solve major problems.
2) Financial tools like discounted cash flow analysis are often "innovation killers" because they are poorly suited to evaluating high-risk, speculative ideas. Innovation requires an openness to failure and experimentation.
3) Governments and large companies often struggle with innovation because they focus too much on predictable incremental changes rather than speculation and experimentation. The culture of Silicon Valley promotes more
This is a quick overview on the role of analytics, insights and big-data as it redefines competitive advantage and strategic management in modern corporations.

EUODA and Early Stage Venture Capital Investment in Biopharmaceutical IndustryChirantan Chatterjee
1) The study finds that the EU Orphan Drug Act (EUODA) increased early stage venture capital investments in biopharmaceutical subfields by 3-5% relative to control subfields, translating to about 2000 new early-stage investments.
2) EUODA also had regulatory spillover effects, helping US venture capitalists more than EU venture capitalists and increasing cross-border venture investing.
3) While EUODA lowered syndication activity for early stage investments, it did not decrease the average amount raised per investment round.
4) EUODA improved exit performance for treated firms, resulting in more initial public offerings than acquisitions and no significant effect on bankruptcies.

2) It presents perspectives from Adam Smith, Muhammad Yunus, and Hart & Zingales on firms and entrepreneurs having non-profit motives and needing to consider social dimensions.
3) Alternative approaches to patents are discussed, such as priority review vouchers, advance market commitments, and innovation prizes, as well as the roles of venture capital and complementary health infrastructure.
4) The document concludes by framing the issue as responsible firms needing to converge with responsible social planners to find welfare-maximizing solutions, as depicted in a two-by-two matrix
Panel Moderator & Discussant - Paul Janssen TB Symposium (CSIR-IMTECH)Chirantan Chatterjee
This document summarizes a panel discussion on tuberculosis. It provides an overview of tuberculosis trends globally from 2009-2015, noting both improvements and ongoing challenges. Specifically, while prevalence is decreasing, every 18 seconds someone still dies from TB. Further, only a small portion of those in need received two newer, more effective medicines to treat drug-resistant TB. The document also discusses the high costs of treating multi-drug resistant TB and questions around access to new treatments, including how public health and the roles of innovators, policymakers, and providers can help achieve global tuberculosis treatment targets by 2025 in countries like India.
This document discusses the concept of innovationism. It defines innovation as the introduction of new goods, improved production methods, new markets, new supply sources, or better organization as defined by economist Joseph Schumpeter. It explores who innovates, including the public and private sectors, large firms and entrepreneurs, individuals and teams. Models of innovation discussed include the linear model, the relationship between firm size and innovation, Pasteur's Quadrant, democratizing innovation, and the location of innovation. The document also addresses innovationism for organizations through tools like innovation audits and metrics, and platforms to incentivize innovation. It wraps up with a discussion of responsible innovationism and the economic history of innovation.
The document discusses healthcare in India and the concept of the Peltzman Effect. It introduces the story of three characters - Bob, Anne, and Carla - to represent different groups in Indian healthcare. It then discusses different philosophical views of justice as they relate to healthcare and notes that no single system can satisfy all views. The document outlines producer-side, consumer-side, and regulator-side Peltzman Effects in Indian healthcare. It proposes monitoring evidence to learn and maintain flexibility to hybridize approaches as seen in examples from Mass General, Hiranandani, Portea/Practo, and Novartis/MHE. The presentation concludes by noting there will be more discussion on these topics in an
The document discusses the concept of disruption in business. It defines disruption as a theory of business failure caused by new entrants or technologies. Disruption can occur through lower-cost business models or new markets. The document notes that disruption is closely related to industry evolution. It provides examples of how core competencies, competitive advantages, and organizational forms are changing for businesses facing disruption. Finally, it raises questions about how incumbent firms should respond to disruption and the challenges they may face.
China has experienced rapid economic growth over recent decades, transitioning from a largely agricultural economy to an industrial and commercial powerhouse. However, this growth has also created new challenges for China relating to inequality, environmental degradation, and regional economic disparities. As China's economy continues to evolve, it remains to be seen whether the country can manage these issues and maintain economic momentum, or if weaknesses could potentially constrain future growth.

This document discusses various frameworks for strategic thinking for hospital CXOs. It summarizes Porter's 5 forces model and the resource-based view of the firm. It also discusses the importance of resources, capabilities, and focusing strategy. Disruptive innovation and examples from the Indian pharmaceutical industry are provided. Overall, the key points are that both industry structure and a firm's unique resources influence strategy, and strategy must consider focusing capabilities and disruptions in the industry.
Indian Economy & Business (Skyped Lecture U-Tokyo Graduate Students)Chirantan Chatterjee
This document discusses India's economic growth and transformation. It notes that while India was growing rapidly and seen as competing with China, its growth has slowed in recent years. It attributes this partly to global slowdown but mainly to structural issues as "the low hanging fruits being gone." It argues that India now needs structural transformation, including addressing sub-national heterogeneity and institutional voids. It highlights some positive factors like a young workforce, entrepreneurship, and sunrise industries, but says more needs to be done in areas like governance, education, and policy consistency to help facilitate India's continued economic development.
This document discusses the transformation of the global biopharmaceutical industry from small-molecule chemistry drugs to large-molecule biological drugs due to advances in basic science. It focuses on the implications for the Indian bio-pharmaceutical industry. Analysis shows Indian firms have weak innovation and science capabilities for large molecules. Firm interviews revealed issues with human capital, competition, and regulation. Econometric analysis of regional drug demand in India found that domestic firms can produce more, charge lower prices than MNCs, and early movers gain market share through greater variety. The industry needs more investment in bio-science human capital and resolution of regulatory uncertainty to succeed in developing large molecule drugs.
Quality (not dirty) medicines - The Way Ahead for Indian PharmaChirantan Chatterjee
This document summarizes a presentation given by Chirantan Chatterjee at an IIM-Bangalore workshop on improving the consumer interface of pharmaceutical and private healthcare in India. The presentation discusses several issues with India's pharmaceutical industry and regulatory system, including having different standards for domestic and export markets, a lack of evidence-based regulation, and differences across regions. It provides examples of initiatives in Gujarat that have helped improve traceability, transparency and oversight. The presentation concludes by calling for the country to address existing issues and shortcomings rather than being complacent, in order to better protect public health.
1) The document discusses various international trade models including absolute advantage, comparative advantage, and the Heckscher-Ohlin model.
2) It examines the Heckscher-Ohlin model in depth, outlining its key ideas including the Stolper-Samuelson theorem, Rybczynski theorem, and factor price equalization.
3) The Heckscher-Ohlin model predicts that countries will export goods that intensively use their abundant factors of production and import goods that intensively use their scarce factors.
The document discusses Arthur Lewis's model of dual economies and its application to Asia. The Lewis model describes an economy with two sectors - a subsistence agricultural sector and a higher productivity manufacturing sector. Workers transfer from the agricultural sector to the manufacturing sector as wages equalize, driving economic growth. Eventually, a "Lewis turning point" is reached where no new workers are available and wages begin rising in both sectors, slowing growth. The document argues China may be approaching this turning point and examines implications for other Asian economies like India. It also discusses assumptions and extensions of the Lewis model over time.
On Market-Boundaries in Pharmaceutical Sector (at Competition Commission of I...Chirantan Chatterjee
The document discusses thinking creatively about product markets in the pharmaceutical industry. It begins by outlining some key considerations, such as the role of physicians and regulators. It then discusses different market structures and how defining the appropriate market boundary is important but challenging. The document emphasizes that market definition depends on the specific question and data available. It provides examples of how to conceptualize product markets using classification codes like ATC and Ephrama at different levels of granularity.

Central to Economics of Ideas
“If you think of [opportunity] in terms of the Gold Rush, then
you’d be pretty depressed right now because the last nugget of
gold would be gone. But the good thing is, with innovation,
there isn’t a last nugget. Every new thing creates two new
questions and two new opportunities.” Jeff Bezos, founder of
Amazon

10. But if Ideas are so important..
How do they impact Economic Growth?
“A surprising number of innovations fail not because of some fatal technological flaw or because the
market isn’t ready. They fail because responsibility to build these businesses is given to managers or
organizations whose capabilities aren’t up to the task…Most often the very skills that propel an
organization to succeed in sustaining circumstances systematically bungle the best ideas for disruptive
growth. An organisation’s capabilities become its disabilities when disruptive innovation is afoot.”
Clayton Christensen, academic (1952–), The Innovator’s Dilemma (1997)
“Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new
capacity to create wealth.”
Peter Drucker, management writer (1909–2005), Innovation and Entrepreneurship (1985)
“Ideas rose in clouds; I felt them collide until pairs interlocked, so to speak, making a stable combination.”
“Invention consists in avoiding the constructing of useless contraptions and in constructing the useful
combinations which are in infinite minority. To invent is to discern, to choose.”
Henri Poincaré, mathematician (1854–1912), Essay on the Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field
11. But if Ideas are so important..
How do they impact Economic Growth?
“The opening up of new markets, foreign or domestic, and the
organizational development from the craft shop and factory
to such concerns as U. S. Steel illustrate the same process of
industrial mutation-if I may use that biological term-that
incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within,
incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new
one. This process of Creative Destruction is the essential fact
about capitalism.” – Schumpeter in CSD
Ultimate Description of Creative Destruction:
“Large corporations welcome innovation and individualism in
the same way the dinosaurs welcomed large meteors.”

12. A Little Bit of Math is Good for Health
A Bare-Bones Romerian Idea-Model 1/5
Y = Kα * (A*LY )1-α
Solow Model: 𝒌 = sY-(n+d)k
- But let’s say, the rate of ideas is a function of ideators & ideation-rate in the economy,
thus:
𝑨 = 𝜹 LA –------- (1)
where LA + LY = L
13. A Little Bit of Math is Good for Health
A Bare-Bones Romerian Idea-Model 2/5
The rate at which ideas are discovered might be dependent on initial stock of ideas, positively
or negatively, which implies:
𝜹 = 𝜹 ∗ 𝑨 𝝋 -------- (2)
- Where 𝝋 < 𝟎, 𝝋 > 𝟎 & 𝝋 = 𝟎 have their intuitive explanation, what?
o IR (SSG effect), FO effect, Independence effect.
o Knowledge spillover parameter at the ideators level.
14. A Little Bit of Math is Good for Health
A Bare-Bones Romerian Idea-Model 3/5
Now 1 + 2 gives us:
𝑨 = 𝜹 ∗ 𝑨 𝝋
LA
or more intuitively: 𝑨 = 𝜹 ∗LA
β * 𝑨 𝝋
---- 3
where 0 < β < 1 – indicating what?
(the stepping on the toes effect capturing duplication)
15. A Little Bit of Math is Good for Health
A Bare-Bones Romerian Idea-Model 4/5
- Now on to Ideas & Growth:
- W/some leap of faith & reading of Chapter 2, you will know that during balanced growth:
gy = gk = gA
gA =
𝑨
𝑨
but 𝑨 = 𝜹 ∗LA
β * 𝑨 𝝋
as in Equation 3 above.
So, dividing by A on both sides gives us:
𝑨
𝑨
= (𝜹 ∗LA
β ) / ( 𝑨 𝟏−𝝋
)
16. A Little Bit of Math is Good for Health
A Bare-Bones Romerian Idea-Model 5/5
RHS of right hand side can only be a constant (gA) if numerator and denominator grow at the
same rate, thus:
𝟎 = 𝛃 ∗
𝑳 𝑨
𝑳 𝑨
− (𝟏 − 𝝋)
𝑨
𝑨
𝑨
𝑨
= (𝜹 ∗LA
β ) / ( 𝑨 𝟏−𝝋 )
Or rearranging:
gA =
𝜷∗𝒏
(𝟏−𝝋)
17. In English Language at last
- Growth in ideas in the steady state drives growth in output.
- In theory, growth in ideas is increasing

22. But What is Happening to Innovation in US?
Is U.S. Economic Growth Over? Faltering Innovation Confronts the Six Headwinds
Robert J. Gordon
This paper raises basic questions about the process of economic growth. It questions the assumption, nearly universal since Solow's seminal
contributions of the 1950s, that economic growth is a continuous process that will persist forever. There was virtually no growth before 1750, and
thus there is no guarantee that growth will continue indefinitely. Rather, the paper suggests that the rapid progress made over the past 250 years
could well turn out to be a unique episode in human history. The paper is only about the United States and views the future from 2007 while
pretending that the financial crisis did not happen. Its point of departure is growth in per-capita real GDP in the frontier country since 1300, the U.K.
until 1906 and the U.S. afterwards. Growth in this frontier gradually accelerated after 1750, reached a peak in the middle of the 20th century, and
has been slowing down since. The paper is about "how much further could the frontier growth rate decline?“ The analysis links periods of slow and
rapid growth to the timing of the three industrial revolutions (IR's), that is, IR #1 (steam, railroads) from 1750 to 1830; IR #2 (electricity, internal
combustion engine, running water, indoor toilets, communications, entertainment, chemicals, petroleum) from 1870 to 1900; and IR #3 (computers,
the web, mobile phones) from 1960 to present. It provides evidence that IR #2 was more important than the others and was largely responsible for
80 years of relatively rapid productivity growth between 1890 and 1972. Once the spin-off inventions from IR #2 (airplanes, air conditioning,
interstate highways) had run their course, productivity growth during 1972-96 was much slower than before. In contrast, IR #3 created only a short-
lived growth revival between 1996 and 2004. Many of the original and spin-off inventions of IR #2 could happen only once - urbanization,
transportation speed, the freedom of females from the drudgery of carrying tons of water per year, and the role of central heating and air
conditioning in achieving a year-round constant temperature. Even if innovation were to continue into the future at the rate of the two decades
before 2007, the U.S. faces six headwinds that are in the process of dragging long-term growth to half or less of the 1.9 percent annual rate
experienced between 1860 and 2007. These include demography, education, inequality, globalization, energy/environment, and the overhang of
consumer and government debt. A provocative "exercise in subtraction" suggests that future growth in consumption per capita for the bottom 99
percent of the income distribution could fall below 0.5 percent per year for an extended period of decades.
