Wu IndexReviews'Not only is this excellent collection of papers a fitting tribute to Angus Maddison, it is also a great resource for thinking about future patterns of global economic growth - both in the BRICS and the OECD - based on key insights from historical experience.' - Nicholas Crafts, University of Warwick, UK 'Angus Maddison may no longer be with us, but his spirit is very much alive. This collection of essays - including one by Maddison himself - shows how the methods he pioneered continue to shed new light on the comparative performance of nations and inspire successive generations of scholars.' - Barry Eichengreen, University of California at Berkeley, US 'The distinguished editors, leading authorities in the field of comparative quantitative economic development, have gathered a stellar group of authors to address arguably the most challenging question of our time: understanding development dynamics over time and across countries. They are to be congratulated for this comprehensive, stimulating and insightful volume. It is a fitting tribute to the late Angus Maddison, an intellectual giant in the study of long-term economic development, to whom the book is dedicated.' - Hal Hill, Australian National University The distinguished editors, leading authorities in the field of comparative quantitative economic development, have gathered a stellar group of authors to address arguably the most challenging question of our time: understanding development dynamics over time and across countries.
