© Centre for economics and business research ltd, The earlier lectures The new theory of economic growth Exchange rate policy Competitiveness policy Counter inflation policy The economic payoff Overview

© Centre for economics and business research ltd, The ‘supercompetitiveness’ of the emerging economies; The continuing shift in the terms of trade in favour of primary products and away from finished goods and services; and The likelihood that overall world economic growth will be constrained because of limits from the lack of natural resources, meaning that some of the enhanced economic growth in the emerging economies will be at the expense of lower growth in the mature economies. Key points from the earlier lectures
