HONG KONG – Asia Times today released a White Paper on “Economic Dynamism and the Global Economy” (Chinese) by Edmund Phelps, winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics. One of the world’s most distinguished economists, Phelps is a professor at Columbia University and director of the university’s Center for Capitalism and Society.

A preeminent theorist of productivity and growth, Prof. Phelps received the China Friendship Award from Premier Li Keqiang in 2014, recognizing outstanding contributions to China’s economic and social development. His 2013 book Mass Flourishing was a bestseller in Chinese translation.

Asia Times is a Hong Kong-based pan-Asian news platform covering Asian and global news in English, Chinese and other languages. Uwe Parpart, Asia Times’ Publisher and Editor, commented, “We are proud to publish this important contribution to the global discussion about reviving growth and productivity by a great economist.”

Asia Times Business Editor David P. Goldman will interview Prof. Phelps on a video link from the Asia Times website at 10 pm Hong Kong time (9 am US Eastern time). Sign up here.

Periods of great economic dynamism occur, Phelps argues when people from every walk of life embrace innovation and contribute to changes in technology and economic life. What he calls “mass flourishing” draws on the energies and aspirations of the whole of society. In today’s world, economic dynamism has become a global phenomenon.
