Economic Progress and Policy in Developing Countries
Economic Progress and Policy in Developing Countries is Angus Maddison’s excellent contribution to the analysis of long-run developments in the world economy. With an expanding data set of national accounts, it also contains the author’s in-depth analysis of changes in the main trends in the world’s economic history. It also covers the fundamental tools for a better understanding of past secular trends and future scenarios. Economic Progress and Policy in Developing Countries’ estimates of total and per capita income in remote times must be considered important preliminary building stones in the process of cumulative learning.
