Abstract

This volume provides an authoritative survey of present-day economics of growth. Little would be accomplished in reviewing this survey. I propose instead to contrast the early growth economics with the new insights and re-emphases now emerging and, in light of recent work and recent policy developments, to assess the prospects that countries have for stepping up their economic growth through better economic policy.
