SUMMARY
Summary Examines the long-sought solution to the economic paradox of falling costs and chronicles the two-hundred-year struggle to solve the puzzle, discussing the roles of such figures as Adam Smith, Alfred Marshall, John Maynard Keynes, Robert Solow, Kenneth Arrow, Robert Lucas, and the man who did it, Paul Romer, who found that technological development and change must be internalized as a part of economic growth.
