Timely, powerful, and certain to be controversial - a deeply researched study that unveils how companies and policymakers are hindering innovation-led development Conventional wisdom contains that Western economies are on the threshold of fast-and-furious scientific development. Fredrik Erixon and Bjorn Weigel refute this notion, bringing together an enormous selection of data and case studies to share an extremely different story. With experience spanning academia and the business world, Erixon and Weigel illustrate how innovation is being hampered by existing federal government regulations and corporate procedures. Capitalism, they dispute, has lost its mojo. Assessing the activities of global companies, including Nokia, Uber, IBM, and Apple, the creators explore three key designs: declining economic dynamism in Western economies; growing corporate reluctance to contest markets and innovate; and abnormal regulation limiting the diffusion of development. At a time of low development, high unemployment, and increasing income inequality, innovation-led development is more necessary than ever. This booklet unequivocally details the obstructions hindering our future success.
