Publisher's Summary:

In a three-month period at the end of 1879, Thomas Edison tested the first practical electric lightbulb, Karl Benz invented a workable internal-combustion engine, and a British-American inventor named David Edward Hughes transmitted a wireless signal over a few hundred meters. These were just a few of the remarkable breakthroughs that Northwestern University economist Robert J. Gordon tells us led to a special century between 1870 and 1970, a period of unprecedented economic growth and improvements in health and standard of living for many Americans.

"Tech Slowdown Threatens the American Dream" is from the May/June issue of MIT Technology Review Magazine.
