CEEC 0913 - Economic Growth & Development

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Why are some countries so much richer than others? Why is the standard of living in developed countries like the United States so much higher today than it was 100 years ago? Are there policies that poor countries can implement that will help them catch up with those that are rich? Will growth in rich countries continue on its current trend, so that our grandchildren will look back in horror at our primitive standard of living? Does the earth have enough natural resources to sustain a rich-country standard of living for all of its residents? Is globalization good or bad for economic growth?
