Economic Growth (2nd Edition)
“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
