Harrod, Domar and the History of Development Economics

One of my recollections of the development economics course I took when I was a business school major was about the “Harrod-Domar model” in an undergraduate course about.  I was amazed by the idea that government could foster economic growth. Yes,  I was young and naive. Anyway, for those interested in the history of development economics I strongly recommend Dr. Mauro Boianovsky’s paper titled “Beyond capital fundamentalism: Harrod, Domar and the history of development economics” that was published in the Cambridge Journal of Economics. This amazing paper received the 2019 best paper award by the European Society for the History of Economic Thought. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.
