A timely investigation of the causes of technological and scientific stagnation, and a radical blueprint for accelerating innovation. From the Moon landing to the dawning of the atomic age, the decades prior to the 1970s were characterized by the routine invention of transformative technologies at breakneck speed.

The Wealth of Nations, first published in 1776, is the first book of modern political economy and still provides the foundation for the study of that discipline.
