Introduction to Modern Economic Growth
نویسنده
چکیده
Na tržištu postoji veliki broj udžbenika iz teorije rasta. Razlikuje ih razina, tehnička zahtjevnost, opseg, središnja tema, vrsta kolegija kojem su namijenjeni i tako dalje. Postoji, dakle, obilje raznolikosti te svaki nastavnik može bez poteškoća na polici naći „svoj broj“. No svakih nekoliko godina pojavi se jedan posebni udžbenik. U pravilu su namijenjeni za nastavu na doktorskom i diplomskom studiju, ali su vrlo korisni i za sve istraživače. U novije vrijeme pojavila su se tri takva udžbenika. Prvi je bio onaj Roberta Barroa i Xaviera Sala-i-Martina (1995) koji je još uvijek u širokoj upotrebi i za mnoge je postao standard. Slijedio je onaj Philippea Aghiona i Petera Howitta (1998) koji zbog povremene prevelike pristranosti prema endogenom rastu nikada nije bio opće prihvaćen niti je dobio ono mjesto koje je trebao i zavrijedio. Nedavno se pojavio treći takav udžbenik koji je napisao Daron Acemoglu, profesor primijenjene ekonomike na MIT-u, koji ću pokušati ovdje prikazati.
