Economic growth is the only way to lift societies out of poverty and improve living standards. This book presents numerous striking examples of rapid economic growth, or, conversely, its absence, along with an analysis of the reasons for these developments. The authors compare economic growth trajectories over the past half-century in pairs of countries chosen to be as similar as possible, including with respect to such difficult-to-measure factors as culture (Australia and New Zealand, Austria and Switzerland, Estonia and Slovenia, Mexico and Spain, Chile and Venezuela, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Costa Rica, China and India, and Indonesia and Pakistan). The book examines not only developing countries but also countries that have transitioned from centrally planned to market economies in the past twenty years, as well as industrialized countries.
