Originally published in 1959, this book contains in straightforward language a general account of the major variables significant for the analysis of economic development. It stresses above all the quantitative aspects of the economic growth of nations, and establishes a series of propositions on growth patterns based on empirical data from the USA & Canada, Europe, Latin America, South Africa and Australasia. In arriving at his conclusions, the author makes use of national income and its components in emerging and developed economies.

""Population Redistribution And Economic Growth United States, 1870-1950, V2: Analyses Of Economic Change"" is a book written by Simon Kuznets that focuses on the economic changes that occurred in the United States between 1870 and 1950. The book is the second volume of a two-part series and examines the relationship between population redistribution and economic growth during this period. Kuznets, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, uses statistical analysis to explore the factors that contributed to economic growth in the United States during this time. He examines the impact of population shifts on economic growth, including the movement of people from rural areas to cities and the influx of immigrants. The book also explores the role of technological advancements, such as the development of the railroad and the growth of the manufacturing industry, in driving economic growth. Kuznets analyzes the impact of these changes on income distribution and social mobility, as well as the overall economic well-being of the country. Overall, ""Population Redistribution And Economic Growth United States, 1870-1950, V2: Analyses Of Economic Change"" is a comprehensive study of the economic changes that occurred in the United States during a critical period in its history. It provides valuable insights into the factors that contributed to economic growth and the impact of this growth on society as a whole. Introduction By Dorothy Swaine Thomas. In Three Volumes. Volume 1, Methodological Considerations And Reference Tables; Volume 2, Analyses Of Economic Change; Volume 3, Demographic Analyses And Interrelations.

The essays center on a few broad themes: population and its relation to economic growth, capital formation in long historical perspective, the broader features of modern economic growth, and recent changes in the gap between the rich and poor countries. The themes are clearly interrelated. Even a selection on the supply of and demand for economic data bears on the others, since it deals with the conditions that limit the quantitative study of economic growth. Included in the volume and published for the first time in book form is Professor Kuznet's Nobel Laureate address, "Modern Economic Growth: Findings and Reflections."

This is a collection of essays by Simon Kuznets, winner of the 1971 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, published posthumously. It represents the primary concerns of his research at a late phase of his career, as well as themes from his earlier work. The first four chapters deal with ‘modern economic growth’. Chapters five to seven introduce the main theme of the remainder of the volume: interrelations between demographic change and income inequality. Chapters eight to ten draw on a wider set of data to make comparisons of income inequality among societies at widely different levels of development. Chapter eleven returns to data for the United States to develop more fully the importance of differing childbearing patterns for income inequality. In the introduction Professor Richard Easterlin discusses the relationship of the essays to the balance of Kuznets’s writings. In the afterword Professor Robert Fogel discusses the methodologies favoured by Kuznets.

The two essays in this volume can be termed essential building blocks for constructing a systematic approach toward a theory of economic growth. Drawing on his noted quantitative studies of modern economic growth, Professor Kuznets presents his views on the complex growth process and analyzes the implications of such specific factors as population, urbanization, industrialization, agriculture, and trade between nations. He discusses the relationship of social and political structure to economic processes, and how economic growth is affected by international relations as well as by the internal conditions of the society.
