Growth Theory and Sustainable Development

"This book offers a broad survey of economic growth theory, with special emphasis on the impact of natural resources on long-term development." "The book begins with the standard growth models of the 1950s and 1960s and extends its analysis to the so-called 'new' growth theory, in which the long-term growth rate of an economy becomes an endogenous variable." "Growth Theory and Sustainable Development shows that the understanding of growth theory is an important key to predict the sustainability of long-term development, making it required reading for students of economic development and environmental economics."--BOOK JACKET.
