Theorists of Economic Growth from David Hume to the Present

With a Perspective on the Next Century

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a book about theories of economic growth and the men and women who formulated them. It is also about the vicissitudes of the world economy over the past two and half centuries as they helped shape those theories. And it has something to say about the future---the future of the world economy, of political economy, and of public policy. Thus, it begins in the middle of the eighteenth century with David Hume and ends with a look into the next century.
