Description
A Politico! Economic Model of Aging, Technology Adoption and Growth dThe political economy of technological change is only dimly understood.[...] the vigor of youth is followed by the caution of maturity and finally the feebleness of old age.[...] If we are to understand why the fires of innovation die down, we must propose a model in which technological progress creates the condition for its own demise. e, Mokyr 1990 9 261-
