9、，這最令人震驚的解釋有一點(diǎn)缺陷。一些經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家認(rèn)為世界經(jīng)濟(jì)結(jié)構(gòu)的強(qiáng)有力的變化已經(jīng)結(jié)束了那個(gè)以經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)和通貨膨脹的歷史關(guān)聯(lián)為基礎(chǔ)的舊的經(jīng)濟(jì)模式。2.例如，阿斯旺大壩使得尼羅河不再洪水泛濫，但是它也奪去了埃及以前所享有的洪水留下的肥沃淤泥-這些換宋的就是這么個(gè)疾病滋生的水庫(kù)，現(xiàn)在這個(gè)水庫(kù)積滿了淤泥，幾乎不能發(fā)電了。3.企業(yè)重組的新方法-所有那些重新設(shè)計(jì)、縮小規(guī)模的做法-只是對(duì)一個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)的整體生產(chǎn)力做出了一方面的貢獻(xiàn)。這種經(jīng)濟(jì)還受許多其他因素的驅(qū)動(dòng)，比如結(jié)合設(shè)備和機(jī)械上的投資、新技術(shù)，以及在教育和培訓(xùn)上的投資。4.他的同事邁克爾•比爾說(shuō)，有太多的公司已經(jīng)用一種機(jī)械的方式實(shí)行公司內(nèi)部的
