Growth Economics is in a black box. Lift the lid to find conjectures that do not workprotected by hocus-pocus that they do.Capital and labor raised to powers that multiply together is not working. Dozens ofother conjectured factors don't work either. Economists inhabit this darkness whentransparency is available - as it must be - from those who actually create growth; whoare not economists.Our innovation professional knowledge cannot be discerned from any campus. It'scommercial knowledge that resides within those who conceive of, and bring to economiclife, new commodities and services.The above tabs cannot do full justice to what we know but will allow you to sample someof its main features. Eight steps will lead you to four new Laws and five Equations, all ofwhich work. They are based on common ideas about how economic growth originatesthat are put together using uncommonly fresh analysis whose primary feature is therigorous definition and enumeration of innovation itself.The outcome is a comprehensive account of how economic growth actually happens.Support from five decades of commercial data puts it beyond reasonable doubt. Despitethis, academic economists prefer the black box. You have the option to think differently.It's in the public domain as a hundred page self-teaching manual, a print-on-demanddownload from the Technology Matters tab.Governments - who are current customers of the black box - should be particularlyassiduous; productivity is misrepresented therein, as is the role of R&D.That's two black marks for the black box. Open it with 4 Laws and 5 Equations instead.
