Review:
“I cannot imagine a better way of introducing students to the fascinating field of economic growth. [The author's] systematic reliance on relevant historical evidence, basic empirical facts, well-chosen examples, and illustrative tables and figures; his parsimonious and intuitive use of very simple models; and his focus on the key issues and enigmas—all these contribute to the magic of this book.”
—Philippe Aghion, Harvard University

“The book is very well conceived and will fill an important need.... The organization is excellent.... The book is slanted toward good, modern, relevant research and the best available evidence about important questions.”
—David Romer, University of California–Berkeley

“The clarity of the writing, the richness of the empirical and quantitative environment, and the currency of the research base drawn upon and explicated. All of these make this book a clear winner.”
—Steve Colt, University of Alaska–Anchorage
