    Interesting links brought up in the following article. Labor Productivity & Wages, Capital Productivity & Profits. It seems so simple, but I had never thought about it in those terms.
    Accelerating labour productivity growth and a fall in capital productivity is what you'd expect in an easy money overinvestment bubble. The question is what happens when the economy has to adjust to normal interest rate levels, normal risk assessment, normal savings rates, normal investment levels.....

    Btw, as the ratio of income from labour to capital is pretty stable, and capital productivity is quite stable too, it is a folly to say that strong rises in labour productivity are good for profits. Temporary at best.

      [freako]In fact since 1997, income from labour as a percentage of GDP in US has grown from 56% to 58% in 2000, while it had fallen from 58% in the 90-97 period, when productivity growth was moderate.[/freako]

      GP, I saw that book in the store the other day. Pretty fat and expensive, maybe something to fill in my time with during the summer.

                    Sorry to bother y'all, but would anyone be in the mood to come over to the "Which is more important to the US?" and give some basic econ and econ history lessons? We're getting in that whole "cause of the Great Depression" argument again, among other things. You should at least be able to get a laugh out of some of the things going on in there.

                        Ugh. A natural rights debate again...

                        But can I take the "Anything can be done with the right amount of smoke and mirrors. (Emily Weems)" as new sig ?

                          Mmmm that book is slightly to heavy to carry around. Maybe I should invite some to view it at home?

                          Don't be silly.

                            Hmm... I've never tried the "Do you want to see my book collection on investment banking?" strategy.
