Development theory and economic of growth

"Wonderful and original contribution. Integrates beautifully the analyses of the pioneer of Development Economics with those of Modern Growth Theory. Comprehensive empirical work to support the argument. Strongly recommended to graduate students and practitioners alike". -Ajit Singh, University of Cambridge-. "This is the first book that seriously attempts what has been a long-felt need-the merging of development economics and growth theory. And Jaime Ros does this with punch, achieving a rare combination of scholarship, innovativeness, and attention to facts. There is much to be gained from a reading of this book not just by students, but by professional economists". -Kaushik Basu, Cornell University.
