Extensive and Intensive Growth

In: Socialist Economic Development and Reforms

Author

  • J. Wilczynski

Abstract

The concepts of extensive and intensive growth in Socialist thought were first introduced, in a crude form, by Marx when he distinguished between extensive and intensive extended reproduction.1 But this problem did not receive much attention from later Socialist writers until the mid-1950s and from policy-makers some ten years later.2 Extensive growth in its pure form is based on quantitative increases in labour, capital and land, whereas intensive growth is derived from gains in overall productivity, i.e. increasing efficiency of labour and a better utilization of capital and other means of production.3
