The four contributions to this symposium develop viewpoints that are highly complementary to the main findings of my book, adding depth to my analysis without raising significant critical objections. In this paper, I begin by providing the general reader with the essence of the book’s main themes concerning the history of the American standard of living since 1870 and its likely future progress over the next 25 years. Then I turn to comments on each of the four contributions.
