Economic Growth - Theories

In this section we look at some of the theories about economic growth - what causes it and how can we avoid problems that may arise from growth that is too fast? We also consider how it may be linked to other economic variables. The theories considered are:

• T1 The roller-coaster of growth - why?
• T2 Costs of growth - who pays?
• T3 Sources of growth - where does it come from?
• T4 Boosting growth - how can we grow more?
