Summary

In Introduction to Economic Growth--the only text in the field designed specifically for advanced undergraduates--Charles I. Jones explains in clear, direct language how economists have come to understand the long-run growth of economies. Beginning with empirical evidence--how rich are the rich countries, how poor are the poor, and how fast do the rich and poor countries grow? --Professor Jones then presents the major theories of economic growth, from the Nobel Prize-winning work of Robert Solow to the new growth theory that has ignited the field in recent years.
