Production and Economic Dynamics

'This book is an interesting review and, at the same time, an attempt to give order to the subject of structural economic dynamics, a field of economic theory that is investigated in many different ways with a variety of alternative aims … the book shows that the work required to construct a unified model of structural change is still in progress, but of course the editors should not be blamed for this. On the contrary they are to be praised for having reduced the distances between important lines of research that at first sight may appear remote.' The Economic Journal
