Fully Grown

Book • 2019
Dietrich Vollrath's "Fully Grown" explores the slowdown in economic growth experienced by many advanced economies.

The book challenges the conventional wisdom that slower growth represents a crisis, arguing instead that it's a natural consequence of economic maturity.

Vollrath examines the historical context of economic growth, highlighting the exceptional nature of the rapid expansion seen in previous centuries.

He analyzes various factors contributing to the slowdown, including demographic shifts and technological advancements.

Vollrath's work offers a nuanced perspective on economic growth, suggesting that focusing on quality of life rather than solely on quantitative growth metrics is crucial for assessing economic well-being.
