Reviews

“The book recognises that long-run growth processes are undergirded by a series of medium-term ‘growth episodes’ that actually shape and constitute the phenomenon of long-term growth. … The strength of the book lies in the possibility that the proposed framework can actually help one address such questions.” (M. Vijayabaskar, Indian Economic Review, Vol. 53, 2018)
