Reviews
A masterful exposition on the theory of economic growth, chalk full of intuition and policy relevance, but intended for a professional audience (graduate training in economics). The first half deals with "exogenous" growth models, work for which the author received a Nobel Prize, and the second half with endogenous growth theory. Solow uses the Domar equation as a unifying theme throughout the chapters and explains clearly the key assumption underlying all of the models of endogenous growth.
