| 520 | |a "Puzzles of economic growth takes case studies from around the globe to investigate countries that over the past few decades, share many geographic characteristics, but differ significantly in terms of financial stability. Digging deep into seemingly similar countries can unveil striking differences on the topic of economic growth: Why is Mexico today much poorer than Spain after having been wealthier up to the 1960s? Why is New Zealand, a paragon of free market, dwarfed economically by Australia? How did Austria manage, with its persistently oversized state enterprise sector, to nearly surpass Switzerland? And what has happened to Costa Rica, now lagging behind Puerto Rico, even though the U.S. territory's development had for years slowed down to a crawl? Why has communist China surpassed capitalist India? Why has Pakistan's growth trailed behind Indonesia, in spite of the latter suffering one of the worst crises in world economic history? Why, even before the 2010 earthquake, has the Dominican Republic been visited by more tourists than Haiti, despite being situated on the same island? These paradoxes are all part of a broader question that this volume wishes to address: How do differences in economic growth arise? By examining comparable countries, we try to answer this puzzling question which is crucial for any nation's stable, long-term economic growth"--Page 4 of cover | ||
