LEVER OF RICHES: TECHNOLOGICAL CREATIVITY & ECON PROGRESS: Technological Creativity and Economic Progress - Softcover
Synopsis
Beginning with a fascinating, concise history of technological progress, Mokyr traces major inventions and innovations that have transformed society since ancient Greece and Rome. What were the causes of technological creativity? Mokyr distinguishes between the relationship of inventors and their physical environment--which determined their willingness to challenge nature--and the social environment, which determined the openness to new ideas. He details a long list of such factors, showing how they interact to help or hinder a nation's creativity, and then illustrates them by a number of detailed studies taken from the history of Europe and China.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Why are some nations more technically creative than others and why do some highly innovative societies eventually stagnate? In this provocative study of the value and meaning of technological advance, Joel Mokyr considers how past physical and social conditions have influenced the development and reception of new ideas, and shows how these trends can guide future industrial strategies at a time when more countries than ever before are competing for the rewards of technical ingenuity.
