Yet some believe it won’t be long before it – and the technological rate of progress it stands for – fails.
然而,一些人相信,用不了多长时间,摩尔定律就会失效,这一定律所代表的技术进步速度也会不复如前。
Robert Gordon of Northwestern University argues that the technological progress of the past 250 years could be a unique historical episode. He cites falling productivity levels and rising inequality as evidence that living standards are no longer improving as quickly. My colleague Martin Wolf shares some of these concerns, asking in an October column whether unlimited growth may be a thing of the past.
西北大学(Northwestern University)教授罗伯特·戈登(Robert Gordon)提出,过去250年间人类取得的技术进步可能是历史上的一段绝唱。他的理由是,生产力水平不断下降、社会不平等不断加剧,证明人类生活水平提高的速度不会再像过去那样快。我的同事马丁·沃尔夫(Martin Wolf)也有一些相同的担忧。他在今年10月的一篇专栏文章中提出过一个问题:无限的增长是否已成为过去?
A novel interpretation of this trend is starting to gain credibility among some economists: it is not that technology is stagnating but that monopoly interests are suppressing innovation. And the incentives for them to do so are increasing.
对这种趋势有一种全新的解读,并且这种解读逐渐得到一些经济学家的认同。这种观点认为:并非科技发展在停滞,而是垄断利益集团在压制创新。促使垄断利益所有者压制创新的因素也在增多。
