Driving Innovation and Productivity

Rob Atkinson contributed an essay, "Driving Innovation and Productivity" to the UK's Policy Network's handbook of ideas titled "Making Progressive Politics Work." This compilation is aimed at advancing political debate through short policy proposals by international thought leaders. "Driving Innovation and Productivity" addresses America's fixation on short term gains over investments that would lead to greater long term gains, Europe's aversion to risk and disruptive innovation is what both the U.S. and E.U. need to do drive innovation and productivity.
