These differences and reversals in outcomes have taught us much about what contributes to development. The pace and quality of economic growth remains central. The discussion here brings out four dimensions of quality relevant for poverty outcomes: distribution, sustainability, variability, and governance surrounding the growth process.; Viewing the quantative and qualitative sides of growth together puts the spotlight on a balanced growth of three sets of assets: human, physical, and natural capital, rather than an almost exclusive focus on promoting accumulation of physical capital.World Bank e-Library.Economic developmentSustainable developmentEconomic development.Sustainable development.338.9Thomas Vinod1949-302575MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959016503321The quality of growth4470156UNINA03392oam 2200781I 450 991095439020332120251117075346.01-136-94377-31-136-94378-11-283-24220-697866132422040-203-84779-210.4324/9780203847794 (CKB)2670000000099506(EBL)684055(OCoLC)764572047(SSID)ssj0000573637(PQKBManifestationID)12264264(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000573637(PQKBWorkID)10542677(PQKB)11236179(MiAaPQ)EBC684055(Au-PeEL)EBL684055(CaPaEBR)ebr10514343(CaONFJC)MIL324220(OCoLC)741613231(EXLCZ)99267000000009950620180706d2011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe laboratory of the mind thought experiments in the natural sciences /James Robert Brown2nd ed.New York :Routledge,2011.1 online resource (241 p.)Philosophical issues in science.

But what function do these experiments perform? Are they really experiments at all? Can they help us gain a greater understanding of the natural world? How is it possible that we can learn new things just by thinking? In this revised and updated new edition of his classic text The Laboratory of the Mind, James Robert Brown continues to defend apriorism in the physical world.
