My most recent article was is the October, 2013 issue of Marketing Management, a publication of the American Marketing Association. It describes why GDP in the United States (and Europe) will not grow in the future as rapidly as in the past. The explanation for rapid growth in the past was migration from rural homes to urban and from mothers working mostly at home to working mostly outside home. Both of those trends cause the products most people consume to be purchased rather than self-produced, a profound fact in understanding the future of domestic and global economies.
