The author starts with a brief review of the history of economics, and then questions and rejects the trend of recent decades that has seen econometrics replace economic theory. By reviewing the different schools of economic thought and by examining the limitations of existing theories to business cycles and economic growth, the author forms a new theory to explain cyclic economic growth. According to this theory, economic recessions result from innovation scarcity, which in turn results from the flawed design of the patent system. The author suggests a new design for the patent system and envisions that the new design would bring about large economic and societal changes. Under this new patent system, the synergy of the patent and capital markets would ensure that economic recessions could be avoided and that the economy would grow at the highest speed. 000890214 588__ $$aOnline resource ; title from PDF title page (viewed May 7, 2019). 000890214 650_0 $$aEconomic development. 000890214 650_0 $$aRecessions. 000890214 650_0 $$aPatents. 000890214 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030122461 000890214 852__ $$bebk 000890214 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-12247-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000890214 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:890214$$pGLOBAL_SET 000890214 980__ $$aEBOOK 000890214 980__ $$aBIB 000890214 982__ $$aEbook 000890214 983__ $$aOnline 000890214 994__ $$a92$$bISE
