520 8 |a According to most media outlets and corporate lawmakers, stock-market-driven short-termism - when corporations appear to prioritise immediate results in the next quarter over long-term interests - is crippling the American economy. This popular view claims that short-termism is causing widespread declines in research and development (R&D) spending, harmful environmental policies, and degradation of the workplace. But the data does not support this black-and-white representation of short-termism. Mark J. Roe uses economy-wide data on R&D spending trends and corporate financial analysis to show that stock-market short-termism is not the root of all of America's economic problems. The book shows that blaming short-termism overlooks the real causes of declining investment, R&D cutbacks, environmental deterioration, and workplace conflict.
