WHAT IS CARLOTA PEREZ’ S DEPLOYMENT FRAMEWORK?
Carlota Perez’ s deployment framework explains how technological revolutions unfold over 50 – 60 years in two phases, separated by a crash:
1
Installation period: Driven by financial speculation and“ creative destruction”. Innovators build new infrastructure, leading to asset bubbles and inequality.
2
Turning point: A financial crash and institutional crisis force governments to regulate and pivot capital back to real-world utility
3
Deployment period: Driven by production capital. The technology becomes widespread, unleashing a broad economic growth and stability until markets saturate, paving the way for the next revolution.
