This outstanding new volume, designed to introduce the reader to economic growth as it has taken place in industrialized countries, is the first such collection in its field. In his generous Introduction-a thorough examination of economic history and its relation to economic theory-Professor Supple provides a comprehensive framework for the essays that follow: detailed studies of the development of modem economies in six key nations.
