| Description: |
The essays in this volume demonstrate the power of using history to improve our understanding of the economic and social challenges of the present and future. A distinguished group of authors provide new perspectives on the dynamics of economic growth, the challenges of economic and political transitions, and the relationships between economic growth, institutional development and individual well-being in mature industrial societies. |
| Synopsis: |
In this volume, leading modern economic historians show how analysis of past experiences contributes to a better understanding of present-day economic conditions; they offer important insights into major challenges that will occupy the attention of policy makers in the coming decades. The seventeen essays are organised around three major themes, the first of which is the changing constellation of forces sustaining long-run economic growth in market economies. The second major theme concerns the contemporary challenges posed by transitions in economic and political regimes, and by ideologies that represent legacies from past economic conditions that still affect policy responses to new 'crises'. The third theme is modern economic growth's diverse implications for human economic welfare - in terms of economic security, nutritional and health status, and old age support - and the institutional mechanisms communities have developed to cope with the risks that individuals are exposed to by the concomitants of rising prosperity. |
