Accumulation in advanced economies: spatial, technological, and social frontiers
比较了1970-80年代英国、美国、西德和日本在空间、技术和社会三类前沿增长上的差异，指出成功积累依赖于经济体不断重新划定边界的能力。
In the 1970s and 1980s, the U.K. had a more serious problem of declining industrial regions than did other advanced economies. It lacked opportunities for three types of frontier growth: spatial, technological, and social. By contrast, the United States had relied heavily on extending the spatial boundaries of its system of cities. West Germany (and Japan) reaped gains available through technological frontier growth. Japan, a highly dualistic economy, shifted social frontiers incorporating new workers into, and ejecting old workers from, employment by capitalist firms. Successful accumulation depends on an economy's ability continually to redraw its boundaries. (c) 1996 Academic Press Limited Copyright 1996 by Oxford University Press.
