This paper offers a critique of that literature and proposes an explanation for the current stagnation based on social structure of accumulation (SSA) theory. It presents historical and econometric evidence for an SSA-based explanation of the current stagnation and considers the implications for the likely near-future course of economic policy and institutional change.
