INTRO TO ECON GROWTH 1E CL - Tapa dura

Selective in coverage and moderate in level, this textbook provides an examination of economic growth. Topics range from Robert Solow's New Growth theory to models of growth and development.

Perhaps the hottest field in macroeconomics, economic growth is fascinating to theorists and critically important to policy makers. Charles Jones, a rising star in the field, explains the inroads economists have made in understanding how economies grow. The story begins with empirical evidence: how rich are the rich countries, how poor are the poor, and how fast do the rich and poor countries grow? Jones then presents major theories of growth, from the Nobel Prize-winning work of Robert Solow to the new growth theory that has ignited the field in recent years.
