The Nature Of Economic Growth |
A.P. Thirlwall, Professor of Applied Economics, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK
|
|
|
‘. . . the book succeeds brilliantly in its main aim, which is to review the key aspects of existing theory, offer an alternative point of view together with many important insights, and show a way forward. It is worth reading and re-reading by any serious, critical and open-minded student of growth and it should greatly contribute to a fruitful dialogue and synthesis between competing schools of thought.’
– Christopher Tsoukis, Journal of Development Studies
This concise book, by one of the leading scholars in development economics, has been developed from a series of lectures given to masters students and will serve as an excellent introduction to the principles of growth and development theory.
