Economist Robert Gordon of Northwestern University recently predicted that U.S. economic growth would slow dramatically over the next 40 years even with innovation, technological advances, and productivity increases.

His claim is that future innovation is no match for the "headwinds" of demographic shifts, education stagnation, unequal income distribution, and high debt that will cause growth to remain slow in the U.S. (Gordon, 2014).

Another economist, Erik Brynjolfsson, has presented alternative interpretations of innovation and technological advance.

For this essay, watch Erik Brynjolfsson's TedTalk regarding economic growth .
