Myths of Rich & Poor
W. Michael Cox, Ph.D., Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
Historians tell us that history repeats itself. Are
the societal and economic changes were seeing from technological advancements a
repeat of history? If so, can we predict what new developments are in store into the
future? According to Dr. Michael Cox
Yes!
Dr. Cox will show how America is
going through a period of rapid technological progress that will make the world tomorrow
as different from the world today, as the world after electricity was different from the
period before it. The birth of the microprocessor in 1971 has spawned numerous
"technology spillovers" to other industries making whole new industries
possible and existing ones more productive just as electricity did at the turn of
the last century.
Dr. Cox predicts that todays economic revolution
will be long lasting, with fast growth rates of productivity and GDP, lower inflation,
tight labor markets, and unprecedented gains in living standards. But as always in times
of rapid progress, there will be a lot of economic "churn" where many existing
industries and jobs will go by the wayside while other new ones emerge. Our times offer
tremendous opportunity, but also unprecedented risk. Gaining an understanding of the
period of time were in, and how the economy is likely to unfold in coming years is
both your best defense and offense in formulating sound business plans.
W. Michael Cox is senior vice president and chief economist at
the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. He advises the Bank president on monetary policy and
economic issues, and heads the free enterprise research group. He is the author of
numerous bank publications and is widely reported in publications such as the Wall
Street Journal, New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Forbes,
Fortune and Business Week. He is a columnist for Investors Business
Daily and the Internet-based think tank, IntellectualCapital.com. He is the author of
the book Myths of Rich and Poor, which earned him a Pulitzer Prize nomination.
Dr. Cox also serves as the president of the Association of
Private Enterprise Education. This organization actively promotes market solutions to
economic problems. He collaborates with other proponents of free enterprise through his
positions as CATO Institute adjunct scholar and National Center for Policy Analysis senior
fellow.
