The social structure of accumulation (SSA) approach offers a theoretical and historical account of the long-run dynamics of institutional change and economic growth in US capitalism. As initially formulated, the SSA comprises the economic, social, and political institutions that constitute the environment within which the capital accumulations process operates (Gordon et al., 1982). The institutions that make up an SSA undergo a life-cycle that is related to long swings in economic activity. An old, and relatively rigid, SSA prolongs a long stagnation period, while a new, and still evolving, SSA promotes a long boom period.
