The Frontiers of Growth

Have Russia and China proved that authoritarianism and capitalism can march hand in hand? Can legality be imported? Are some countries fated to race ahead while others lag? Does culture shape economics? Is unrestricted foreign investment a help or a hindrance to countries seeking to escape from poverty?

Understanding the ingredients of what makes economies grow is one of the most vexing tasks facing policymakers and economists. Across the globe, growth is universally seen as the elixir for the alleviation of human misery. Improved growth rates are also critical to the future of the developed countries, for the cost of backwardness is vast and rises with every new technological advance.
