Abstract

We will quickly become awash in confusion if we simply reproduce by discipline all of the theoretical insights relevant to economic growth. As we saw in chapter 2, a number of distinct causal links can be identified. We will thus organize our discussion around causal links here. The potential drawback of this approach is that many theories address multiple links. Yet we can only hope to compare and contrast the implications of different theories – which will often address overlapping sets of causal links – if we examine each theory link by link. In practice it is straightforward to do so (see Szostak 2003b). We will address interactions across links as appropriate (and will address emergent properties in chapter 10).
