Curiosidade do dia


Volto ao relatório Draghi. 

Recordo esta reflexão recente.


Relaciono as palavras de Phil Mullan sobre produtividade e destruição criativa com:

Os postais recentes sobre deixar as empresas morrerem.
A velha citação de Maliranta:
"It is widely believed that restructuring has boosted productivity by displacing low-skilled workers and creating jobs for the high-skilled."

Mas, e como isto é profundo:

"In essence, creative destruction means that low productivity plants are displaced by high productivity plants." Por favor voltar a trás e reler esta última afirmação. Quanto mais protegerem os incumbentes mais dificultam o aparecimento de empresas produtivas.
E o grande finale:
"As creative destruction is shown to be an important element of economic growth, there is definitely a case for public policy to support this process, or at least avoid disturbing it without good reason. Competition in product markets is important. Subsidies, on the other hand, may insulate low productivity plants and firms from healthy market selection, and curb incentives for improving their productivity performance. Business failures, plant shutdowns and layoffs are the unavoidable byproducts of economic development."
E a outra de NN Taleb:
"Systems don’t learn because people learn individually –that’s the myth of modernity. Systems learn at the collective level by the mechanism of selection: by eliminating those elements that reduce the fitness of the whole, provided these have skin in the game."
