the claim

Technological progress always increases economic growth.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that technological progress always increases economic growth?

Partly. Several sources treat technological progress as one determinant of economic growth, and one notes an 'always' result only under a specific Hicksian non-neutral case. One peer-reviewed chapter argues technological change never determines outcomes on its own, so the unconditional 'always' is only partially addressed on both sides.
