Abstract

For most of the 20th century, the housing and auto industries were the key drivers of the United States economy. By the late 1990’s, information technology (IT) accounted for a quarter to a third of economic growth. The increased productivity resulting from this IT growth, combined with the trend of globalization, together spawned what was coined as the “new economy.”
