Acerca da produtividade, mais uma vez" e o marcador "gato vs rato" muito interessante este artigo "
A New Look at U.S. Economic Competitiveness" e o conceito de "
real and fake productivity":
"U.S. competitiveness [is] the ability of firms in the U.S. to succeed in the global marketplace while raising the living standards of the average American."
...
"For an economy to stay competitive, productivity needs to increase continuously. Productivity needs to rise fast enough for firms to make more money each year. And it needs to rise fast enough for workers to earn more, on average, each year. This sets a high bar."
...
"To discuss the productivity of a national economy we need to
distinguish "real" productivity from "fake" productivity. Real
productivity measures how much actual dollar value someone can produce
through their work effort. Fake productivity measures how much an
employer can drive down wages by negotiating, offshoring, outsourcing,
etc.
If an economy delivers gains in fake productivity but not real
productivity, that simply means that money has shifted from one group in
that economy (mostly workers) to another group (mostly managers and
investors.) Such gains do not increase the total size of the pie. Past a
certain point, fake productivity gains actually shrink the pie,
because lowered wages prevent people from giving their children the
education they’ll need for a well-paying job."
