Litan, Vice President for Research and Policy at the Kauffman Foundation and Senior Fellow in the Economic Studies and Global Economics Programs at the Brookings Institution, <br />visits Google's Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book "Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism, and the Economics of Growth and Prosperity" (co-authored with William J. Baumol and Carl Schramm).</p> <p>Imagine this: a mere century ago, the purchasing power of an average American was one-tenth of what it is today. But what will it take to sustain that growth through the next century? And what can be said about economic growth to aspiring nations seeking higher standards of living for their citizens?In this important book, William J. Baumol, Robert E. Litan, and Carl J. Schramm contend that the answers to these questions lie within capitalist economies, though many observers make the mistake of believing that "capitalism" is of a single kind. Writing in an accessible style, the authors dispel that myth, documenting four different varieties of capitalism, some "Good" and some "Bad" for growth. The authors identify the conditions that characterize Good Capitalism--the right blend of entrepreneurial and established firms, which can vary among countries--as well as the features of Bad Capitalism. They examine how countries catching up to the United States can move faster toward the economic frontier, while laying out the need for the United States itself to stick to and reinforce the recipe for growth that has enabled it to be the leading economic force in the world. This pathbreaking book is a must read for anyone who cares about global growth and how to ensure America's economic future.</p> <p>This event took place on March 20, 2008, as a part of the Authors@Google series.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/33935-authors-google-robert-litan">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/33893-brave-new-review-michael-clayton 2008-06-14T03:30:04Z DJK <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EHckVQm4cW0&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EHckVQm4cW0&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/33893-brave-new-review-michael-clayton"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/thumbnail_pic/36913" style="border: solid 1px black; margin-right: 7px; margin-top: 3px;" align="left" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><p>If a person or company has enough money, they can pervert the law and get away with anything, even murder.
