| Why it’s on the list | Greenspan and Wooldridge narrate four centuries of American economic history around creative destruction: the United States outgrew its peers by letting failure happen faster than anyone else, and has since accumulated the entitlements, regulation and incumbent protection that slow it down. |

Li Lu — on Li Lu’s Recommended Book List, in the section on Value Investing, Finance, and Capitalism, which pairs the how-to-invest literature with structural economic history — on the view that an investor’s returns depend on what kind of economy he is investing in. The section circulated in posts by @F_Compounders and @themattharbaugh.
