This Guided Reading studies the various scientific theories on the origins of modern, sustained economic growth. We will discuss major strands of literature related to the origins of sustained economic growth, including geography, politics, institutions, markets and states, culture, human capital, demography, and colonization. Based on these theories, we will then take a look at the industrialization in Britain and discuss its spread and significance.
