→ The Rise and Fall of American Growth: https://www.bookmarked.club/books/the-rise-and-fall-of-american-growthSponsor→ Stakwork: https://stacksats.how/stakworkSummaryThe conversation explores the book 'The Rise and Fall of American Growth', which chronicles growth in America over the past 150 years. It begins with an introduction to the topic and the background of the author Robert J. Gordon. The concept of growth and productivity is defined, highlighting the role of GDP and the impact of inventions. The three industrial revolutions are discussed, along with their key innovations. The conversation then delves into the factors affecting growth, including education, inequality, and fiscal debt. The chapters conclude with an exploration of the rise of American growth from 1870 to 1970 and the fall of American growth from 1970 to the present. The conversation covers various topics related to economic growth, inequality, and the future. The guest, Robert J. Gordon, advocates for immigration reform and improved education as solutions to economic challenges. The discussion also touches on the impact of going off the gold standard and the role of money in exacerbating issues. The guest expresses skepticism about the idea that the US going off the gold standard in 1971 has played a significant role in rising inequality. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the potential for a 'special century' and the importance of economic growth.Takeaways- Growth and productivity are measured by GDP and reflect the increase in output per person or per hour of work.- The three industrial revolutions, marked by key innovations, have driven economic growth: steam engine and cotton spinning, electric power and internal combustion engine, and computers and digital technology.- The percolation of innovations takes time, and the impact of new inventions may not be immediately evident in productivity statistics.- Factors such as education, inequality, and fiscal debt can act as headwinds to growth.- The rise of American growth from 1870 to 1970 was driven by the implementation of inventions and increased productivity.- The fall of American growth from 1970 to the present is characterized by slower productivity growth, increased inequality, and fiscal debt.

→ The Box: https://www.bookmarked.club/books/the-boxSponsors→ Stakwork: https://stacksats.how/stakwork→ CrowdHealth: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/SummaryOn this episode, Marc Levinson explores the history and impact of containerization on the global economy. He begins with an introduction to the topic and the motivation behind writing his book 'The Box'. The discussion then delves into the state of international trade before the advent of containers and the challenges faced by dock workers. The role of regulation and the ICC in shaping the industry is also explored. The conversation highlights the story of Malcolm McLean and his pivotal role in the birth of containerization. The impact on small shipping towns, the unintended consequences, and the expansion and standardization of containers are also discussed. Finally, the conversation explores the lessons learned from container standardization, the impact of container shipping on Asia and American economies, the reversal of ship sizes, technological innovations in the shipping industry, potential threats to the shipping industry, and the development of the container shipping industry.Takeaways- Containerization revolutionized international trade and played a major role in the growth of globalization.- The development of container shipping was driven by a combination of economic factors, technological advancements, and the vision of individuals like Malcolm McLean.- The standardization of containers and the establishment of regular shipping routes were crucial in the growth and success of containerization.- Containerization had significant implications for labor unions, dock workers, and small shipping towns, leading to changes in employment and economic structures. Container standardization took about 10 years to reach a result that seemed acceptable to everybody, showing that standardization processes can be slow.- Container shipping had a significant impact on the economies of Asia and the United States, enabling the growth of trade and the development of new business models.- The trend of increasing ship sizes is likely to reverse, as the economies of scale are not as beneficial as initially expected.- Technological innovations in the shipping industry are focused on marginal improvements rather than revolutionary changes.- Technologies like 3D printing and demographic changes may pose threats to the shipping industry.- The development of the container shipping industry was a result of incremental changes and decisions that had significant long-term effects.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background03:41 Life Before Containers10:09 Regulation and the Role of the ICC13:10 Malcolm McLean and the Birth of Containerization19:49 Challenges and Hurdles in the Early Days of Containers28:47 Impact on Dock Workers and Labor Unions33:49 Effects on Small Shipping Towns39:09 Unintended Consequences and Second Order Effects52:50 Expansion and Standardization of Containers57:33 Lessons from Container Standardization01:00:42 The Impact of Container Shipping on Asia and American Economies01:17:30 The Reversal of Ship Sizes01:23:11 Technological Innovations in the Shipping Industry01:27:04 The Potential Threats to the Shipping Industry01:28:02 The Development of the Container Shipping IndustryThis show is a Lightning podcast.
