Description
For more than two decades, the economies of different countries have grown at a pace that greatly exceeds anything previously known in the long sweep of human history. What distinguishes this period from the earlier one is what we have come to know is the knowledge economy. This reflects a very real transformation in our understanding of the factors underlying long-run economic development. In the 1950s economists discovered that there was a huge gap in their explanations of economic growth in terms of capital accumulation. Since then, other factors such as human capital, technological progress, internal organization and managerial practices have further refined our understanding of the notion of growth. For developing and emerging countries, studies showed that there was also a close correlation between good governance and equitable growth. But that still did not provide the whole explanation and fill the whole space
