Creating a Learning Society a New Approach to Growth Development and Social Progress
Description
This influential work argues that the true engine of economic growth is not merely the accumulation of capital, but the creation and spread of knowledge throughout society. It examines how markets, institutions, and public policy can either encourage learning and innovation or allow inefficiencies and inequality to persist, with particular attention to the challenges facing developing countries. The authors present a framework for understanding growth as a dynamic, collective process shaped by education, technology, social cooperation, and government action. Rigorous yet accessible, the book offers a provocative alternative to conventional economic thinking and a blueprint for fostering more inclusive and sustainable social progress.
