Why Growth Is Good - Books & Culture

Kenneth G. Elzinga (the Robert C. Taylor Professor of Economics at the University of Virginia) reviews The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth by Benjamin F. Friedman (the Maier Professor of Political Economy at Harvard University). Be sure and read the review all the way down, on through the "quibbles" and the summing up.

Elzinga is calling it "an important book on an important subject" and is predicting it will be widely read. I'm relatively sure the "widely read" part is relatively speaking. On the other hand, if, by any chance, it starts becoming an influential book, don't say I didn't give you a heads up ;-).

To go to Barnes & Noble for more information and reviews (or to order, of course), click the book cover.
