Background reading: Long-Term Growth and Productivity (ch. 17, Macroeconomics, Dornbusch and Fischer)
This is a chapter from a standard macroeconomics textbook meant to provide background to the economics in this week's chapter. It outlines sources of growth (output and productivity) as well as basic growth theory. Note that this is purely meant to supplement the econ background for participants less familiar with the economics on the table and won't be a focus of the discussion. Enjoy!
