The Role of Structure and Demand

美联社Thirlwall,教授Applied Economics, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK

This concise yet insightful sequel to the highly acclaimed The Nature of Economic Growth provides a comprehensive critique of both old and new growth theory, highlighting the importance of economic growth for reducing poverty.

‘The book is very well written and offers a host of theoretical and empirical insights into the problems at hand. It contains the fruits of the lifelong studies of a major development economist and is a must for everyone working in the field under consideration. Tony Thirlwall is to be congratulated for opening the reader’s eyes and freeing him from the fetters of ideology and prejudice.’
– Heinz D. Kurz, Applied Economics Journal

‘Economic Growth in an Open Developing Economy is revealed as a tour de force. It would serve equally well as either an introductory primer on balance-of-payments-constrained growth theory, or as a summary of the current state of the art for those already acquainted with the field. As such, it deserves to be read by all students and professionals with a sincere interest in long run growth and development.’
