The Making of the Classical Theory of Economic Growth
This book collects together for the first time Anthony Brewer’s work on the origins and development of the theory of economic growth from the late eighteenth century and looking at how it came to dominate economic thinking in the nineteenth century. Brewer argues that many of the earliest proponents of economics growth theory had no concept of it as a continuing theory.
