Dean Thurow's “Historian of the Future” solves an economic mystery

Abstract

At TPF's annual conference, MIT professor Lester Thurow received a standing ovation for a keynote speech that confronted the central puzzle of our time: Is the U.S. doomed to become a second‐rate economic power in the 21st century? We have taken the liberty of recasting his presentation as an economic detective story.
