...lengthy productivity slump beginning in the early 1970s that created concern among economists such as Krugman. Low productivity growth explained much of what had gone wrong with the U.S. economy: stagnant wages, high inflation, ground lost to Japan. But what caused it? The most convincing explanation came from Northwestern University's Robert J. Gordon. In the early and mid-20th century, he argued, the U.S. benefited from a spectacular confluence of technological innovation involving electricity, the internal combustion engine, petrochemicals and communications. By the 1970s the economic impact of innovation in these fields had waned, and nothing came along...

This is the first election in our lifetimes, and maybe ever, when almost 9 out of 10 people think the country is going in the wrong direction. We have bridges falling into our rivers and children dropping out of our schools and an abiding sense that the American Century that let us shine as a beacon to the world is giving way to one in which we can't afford the electric bills. And yet the historians sitting around the table are more comfortable with ambiguity than is a voter heading into the booth. Even in crisis, they say, there...
