The other day at the State of the Union speech, President Obama said, and I think we could all agree with this goal, From the first railroads to the interstate highway system, our nation has always been the first to compete.

Infrastructure (roads, railroads, and ports) has been built with one goal in mind getting the resources out of the country at as low a price as possible, with no effort to process the resources in the country, let alone to develop local industries based on them.

From scientific research to identification of commercial applications of new technologies, progress has been achieved through trial and error. The strategic technologies that have repeatedly transformed the market economy from railroads to the Internet required the construction of networks whose value in use could not be known when they were first deployed.

Occasionally, the object of speculation has been one of those fundamental technologies canals, railroads, electrification, radio, automobiles, microelectronics, computing, the Internet for which financial speculators have mobilized capital on a scale far beyond what rational investors would provide. From the wreckage that has inevitably followed, a succession of new economies has emerged.

In the United States, the government constructed transformational networks (the interstate highway system), massively subsidized their construction (the transcontinental railroads), or played the foundational role in their design and early development (the Internet). Activist states around the world have funded basic science and served as early customers for the novel products that result.

But why does this seem so surprising? At the end of the nineteenth century the huge amount of investment and technological progress in America's railroads appeared to benefit everyone but the stockholders and bondholders of railroad companies, as bust followed boom and ramming worthless securities down the throats of investors became Wall Street's favorite sport.

The patterns of exchange that prevailed during the colonial period which are based on concentrating on the extraction of minerals and other primary materials and their export for fabrication outside Africa have been difficult to replace. Furthermore, no significant investment took place during that period with regard to the infrastructure such as roads, railroads, ports and airports.

The last sentence is crucial Gordon cuts off IR 3 circa 2005 that is, 45 years from its onset, but less than half the time allowed for IR 1 and IR 2 to run their respective courses. To take a salient example from the prior industrial revolutions, this is as if the impact of the railroads on the US economy were to be measured as of 1873, 45 years after construction began on America s first line, the Baltimore amp
