Economic Commentary

Riding the S-Curve Thriving in a Technological Revolution

Download pdf

The information technology revolution offers a great opportunity to leap forward in our collective prosperity. All of us stand to benefit. But some will take to the revolution more easily than others—policymakers have learned this lesson from previous economic revolutions. This Economic Commentary is adapted from a speech given by Jerry L. Jordan, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, to the Ohio Aerospace Institute on October 12, 2000.
