How nations innovate: the political economy of technological innovation in affluent capitalist economies Huo, jingjing - UK Oxford University Press 2015 - viii, 262 p.
Table of contents:
1. Introduction
2. Who Are Better Hunters for Innovation?
3. Whose Innovation Creates More Jobs?
4. Whose Innovation Creates More Inequality?
5. Who Faces a Dilemma between Volatility and Output in Innovation?
6. Conclusion
How Nations Innovate compares how affluent capitalist economies differ in their patterns of technological innovation. Building on the 'varieties of capitalism' literature, this book goes beyond the traditional focus on 'radical versus incremental innovation' in existing scholarship, and takes the comparison of capitalism to an entirely new set of questions around technological innovation. For example, which type of capitalism engages in job-threatening innovation? Whose innovation widens income inequality? Whose innovation raises productivity? Which type of capitalism has more effective financial markets for innovation? Whose innovators emphasize 'control' rather than 'flexibility' during innovation?
