Summary:
Despite a renewed interest in growth, recent literature only touches tangentially on some of the key issues in development economics. The novelty of this book is its attempt to stimulate intersections between the two strands of economic literature, growth and development. Eminent scholars of growth and development discuss theories, empirical evidence and policy issues from a different perspective. The result is a very stimulating and insightful overview of the main issues affecting long-term economic growth. The communication between different approaches is crucial as it is increasingly understood that growth hinges upon institutional and policy aspects are generally neglected in the stylized models of growth but highly relevant for developing countries.
