Abstract
Estimates of total factor productivity are based on assumptions that preclude the decentralized, broad-based innovation that undergirds the dynamism of capitalist economies. Thus the decline in standard measures of productivity – which fly in the face of most everyday experience – is not a cause for alarm. We should however be concerned by the declining numbers of improvised but promising new businesses.
