Editorial Reviews
Review
"...you could not hope to improve on a new book edited by Ashish Arora and Ralph Landau, Nathan Rosenberg... 'Chemicals and Long-term Economic Growth' is the latest in a series originating in the Stanford economics department aiming to bridge the gaps between economic theory, economic history and the application of technology." .-The Economist
"The book will be of interest to participants in the industry, economists and economic historians interested in growth, business school faculty and students concerned with corporate strategy, especially the management of technical change, and finally, policy makers who create the legal and political environment within which the industry has developed."-Dale W. Jorgenson, Frederic Eaton Abbe Professor of Economics, Harvard University
"This monograph, edited by three distinguished scholars, reflects a painstakingly thorough and insightful analysis of the global chemical industry. It provides a detailed historical treatment of competitive advantage at the level of the firm in the nation state today. It will be of great value to economic historians and economists concerned with the growth of modern industrial societies. It is must reading for executives and scholars concerned with innovation and competitiveness."-David J. Teece, Director, Institute of Management, Innovation & Organization; Mitsubishi Professor, Walter A. Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley
"The chemical industry will continue to be a leading indicator of economic development in the century ahead. The research and conclusions of Ralph Landau and his colleagues capture the structure, processes, and future of the industry and make (this) book required reading for all who follow the field." -Frank Popoff, Chairman of the Board, The Dow Chemical Company
"Chemistry is known as the 'central science'. Given the magnitude and persuasiveness of the chemical processing industry which underlies all manufacturing, this study of the dynamics of interactions among technology, economics and politics should become 'must reading' for all serious students of industrial developments." -S. Allen Heininger, Past President, American Chemical Society
"The innovativeness of the chemical industry has made it a key player in the development of the modern world economy. Analysis of the industry's long-term growth therefore gives an insight into the interaction between science, technology, and economic progress, as this book demonstrates. At the same time, the analysis offers observations that are of great practical relevance to today's issues.." -Professor Doctor Gottfried Plumpe, Bayer Corporation
