The book discusses all the principal modern models of economic growth including the celebrated Harrod-Domar and neoclassical models and the continuing Cambridge controversies There are copious references to the original research articles and a valuable structured reading list is included so that the student will be encouraged to read further in the subject. All the arguments in the book are carefully developed using no more than the simple diagrammatical and mathematical methods encountered in introductory textbooks of macroeconomics several mathematical explanations are however provided for the more mathematically sophisticated student.
