Silicon Valley and Route 128 Won't Save Us
指出硅谷和128号公路作为美国经济成功典范具有误导性，微电子产业过于碎片化，初创企业难以壮大，且与制造业客户缺乏紧密合作，导致创新未能扩散到整体经济。
Many Americans regard Silicon Valley and Route 128 as symbols of America's economic and technological success; they are held out as models for the rest of the American economy. But their success is misleading. In fact, the U.S. microelectronics industry is too fragmented; very few start-ups ever become large enough to compete effectively in global markets. More importantly, because these firms have not been able to develop close working relationships with their customers, who are primarily traditional manufacturing companies, the latter continue to slip further behind. The innovations of America's high-tech firms are not being diffused throughout the rest of the American economy.
