Richard Goodwin: a short appreciation

Article Abstract:

The persistence of Richard Goodwin's works in the field of economics stemmed from his early insights into the growth pattern exhibited by capitalism, which he initially described as non-linear and later refined into a steady growth characterized by fluctuations in the rate. Goodwin share the same insight on capitalism's growth with Hayek, and further refined his observations using the Lotka-Volterra system of differential equations.

Mortality as an indicator of economic success and failure

Article Abstract:

Mortality statistics offer useful insights into the economic condition of a country. The degree of mortality in a country reflects the effectiveness of its health care and the nature of medical insurance being offered to the people by private and public entities. It also mirrors the productiveness of a country's social services, such as basic education, and the accessibility of modern medical knowledge to rural communities.
