Did real world per capita income really grow faster in 1870-1913 than in 1973-1992?
Article Abstract:
A review of Angus Maddison's book entitled 'Monitoring the World Economy 1820-1992' revealed that the world per capita income registered a higher growth from 1870 to 1913 than from 1973 to 1992. Maddison argued that from 1870 to 1913, improvement in communication and transportation were achieved. International capital movement and large-scale migration also advanced during the covered period. On the other hand, debt crisis, oil crisis and unemployment, among other economic problems negatively affected the world per capita income from 1973 to 1992.

The empirics of growth
Article Abstract:
A historical analysis of The Netherlands' economic growth from 1850 to 1913 is conducted to be able to examine the long-term dynamics of such growth. Results revealed that 19th-century economic growth is significantly spurred by physical capital, which initially focused on buildings and infrastructure. Until 19th century was coming to a close, the close link between investment in machinery and economic growth was not evident.
