Bennett Professor of Public Policy, University of Cambridge
I’m an economist and the Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge. I research questions about the digital economy, but also the fundamental issues that economic transformation of that kind raises about what we value in life: How do we think about it? How do we measure it? What is progress?
EXPs by Diane Coyle
Economic growth matters because of how it improves people's lives. Modern economic growth, as we experience it, started around 300 years ago with the Industrial Revolution.
When you look at economic history, crises recur frequently. Marxist scholars might call them capitalism’s crises and talk about the inherent dynamics of the capitalist system that lead to these recurrent crises.
Technology is a fundamental driver of economic growth and the things that we do in everyday business and life.
