It illuminates the present economic problems and policy dilemmas of these countries by providing historical and comparative perspectives. Since 1820 the advanced capitalist countries have increased their total product seventyfold and now account for half of world GDP. Their real per capita income is now fourteen times what it was in 1820, and six times as high as the average for the rest of the world. The author analyses the nature of this progress using a standardized framework of comparative growth accounts and identifies the causal factors responsible for this unprecedented growth. This volume is a successor to "Phases of capitalist development" and contains further improvement, updating, and standardization of the quantitative data base for analysing growth performance in the long run. It contains a more comparable assessment of growth and levels of the capital stock, a more sophisticated analysis of total factor productivity and a clearer statement of his causal schema. More emphasis is placed on the broader long-run forces making for change over the capitalist period as a whole. ER -
