Dark Horses

All of a sudden, it seems, everybody who is anybody is talking about the need for increased productivity and economic growth. Few ideas have made the transition from desuetude to universal wisdom with such rapidity.

Symptomatic of this change—and helping mightily to advance it—is an excellent new volume from the Institute for Contemporary Studies entitled The Economy in the ’80s (Suite 811, 260 California St., San Francisco, Calif. 94111; $7.95). Anyone who wonders what the productivity fuss is all about can find the answers in this anthology, which is a sharply reasoned, richly documented study of the ills afflicting our economy.
