It is widely accepted that economic progress is highly dependent on developments in the invention and exploitation of new productions and processes arising from technical progress. This book considers these questions from many different viewpoints, progressing from a discussion of the forces affecting the process of technical change to empirical studies of technical change in different industries and firms, and a consideration of their economic and social consequesces.
