Robert Gordon

Robert Gordon is an economist known for analyzing economic growth, particularly the slowdown in innovations and productivity since the mid-20th century. He argues that rapid technological advances, which greatly boosted living standards in the early 1900s, have become less transformative recently. Gordon emphasizes that factors like demographic shifts, income inequality, and slower innovation explain this deceleration. His work encourages policymakers to consider these challenges and explore ways to sustain economic progress and improve living standards in the future.
