Abstract
The paper deals with the notion of resilience of a country's economy. Taking U.S. economy as an example, we point out three factors that contribute to the reduction in its resilience: lower political adaptability, lack of progress in vertical mobility of the population, and narrowing of the economic middle class. We find that innovative activity in the U.S. is increasing which contradicts pessimistic conclusions made in earlier papers by several American researchers. However, this trend is concentrated in a few industries which are currently booming and is not supported by long-term public R&D investment.
