This view, popular in influential circles, sees\u003cbr\u003eshort-termism as causing sharply declining research and development (R\u0026amp;D), too many stock buybacks, and severe environmental harm. But the data fits badly with this black-and-white representation of short-termism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMark J. Roe analyzes the best data on R\u0026amp;D, corporate borrowings and buybacks, and long-term investment trends to show that stock market short-termism is not at the root of these economic problems. The book shows that blaming short-termism overlooks the real causes of declining investment, R\u0026amp;D\u003cbr\u003echanges, and environmental deterioration. By pointing to other sources of tension like accelerating technological change, rising political uncertainty, and repeated economic disruptions, \u003cem\u003eMissing the Target\u003c\/em\u003e argues for a more nuanced understanding of the challenges to the American economy. Roe\u003cbr\u003edisproves many of the core claims against short termism. R\u0026amp;D spending, for example, is rising faster than the economy is growing. It's government R\u0026amp;D support that's been falling. Reversing that decline is the best first target for bettering American R\u0026amp;D. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eMissing the Target\u003c\/em\u003e deepens the discussion of the American economy by analyzing the factors that contribute to current trends and by making a bold but straightforward claim: stock market short-termism is not the problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMark J.
