    Progress, stagnation, and flying cars A review of Where Is My Flying Car? by J. Storrs Hall. by Jason Crawford ¢erdot; November 6, 2020 ¢erdot; 13 min read Suppose you were to reach into the mirror universe, where everything is inverted, and pull out a book that is the exact opposite of Robert Gordon's The Rise and Fall of American Growth.
    • Where Is My Flying Car? - The Roots of Progress

      Where Is My Flying Car? A Memoir of Future Past. J. Storrs Hall. A work combining historical analysis and bold futurism, looking for the causes of the Great Stagnation (including and especially our lack of flying cars) and painting a picture of what a technological future could look like. I enjoyed this book a lot, and learned a lot from it.

    • Technological stagnation: Why I came around - The Roots of Progress

      Technological stagnation Why I came around. by Jason Crawford ¢erdot; January 23, 2021 ¢erdot; 9 min read "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters," says Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, expressing a sort of jaded disappointment with technological progress.(The fact that the 140 characters have become 280, a 100% increase, does not seem to have impressed him.)

    I first encountered Flying Car as a self-published e-book, recommended by Tyler Cowen.

    Hall argues that stagnation can be seen in stifling regulations that have grounded attempts to develop flying cars; in technologies such as nanomachines that promised abundance but never materialized; and in wages, purchasing power, and GDP, where growth has slowed over past decades.

    From an engineer and futurist, an impassioned account of technological stagnation since the 1970s and an imaginative blueprint for a richer, more abundant future.The science fiction of the 1960s promised us a future remade by technological innovation. We'd vacation in geodesic domes on Mars, have meaningful conversations with computers, and drop our children off at school in flying cars.

    May 12, 2016In the United States, which drove most of the "golden quarter's" progress, 1970 marks what scholars of administrative law (like me) call the "regulatory explosion."
