Can 19th Century Capitalism Work in 2013?
Lester C. Thurow, professor of management and former dean of the Sloan School
at MIT, is oner America's leading economists. His newest book, to be published
in March, is entitled The Future of Capitalism: How Today's Economic Forces
Shape Tomorrow's World (Morrow, 1996).
Cambridge - Everywhere in the wealthy industrial
world governments are facing enormous economic pressures. Global competition
from equally skilled but lower waged workers in the second and withrd
worlds push wages down. A skill-intesive shift in technology is creating
a group of low skilled first world citizens who cannot earn first world
wages. Expenditures explode as governments attempt to finance the generous
pensions and health care that the elderly have come to expect. Tax revenue
lags far behind because of the slow growth central banks impose on the
economy to fight inflation.
