Economic Growth develops a new theory of growth. This new theory is based on careful
analysis of actual growth; it covers the causes and mechanisms as well as the results
of growth. This new theory extends conventional theory by operating at the industry
level and by placing demand considerations at the forefront of growth. Demand growth
- based on product innovation, marketing, credit and the consumer society - drives
the economy forward while supply growth - based on investment and process innovation
- sustains the growth in spending and incomes. Growth is not automatic but, in the
right conditions, demand and supply expansion work together to generate sustained
growth. Economic Growth offers a new view of growth, unique in its combination of
historical depth, intellectual clarity and practical relevance. Its original insights
will interest academic and professional economists, while its comprehensive treatment
and lucid explanations make it an excellent guidebook for anyone interested in economic
growth. -- cover.
