The document discusses modern economic growth as conceptualized by economist Simon Kuznets. It defines modern economic growth as the development seen in Western countries from the late 18th century onward, characterized by a high rate of per capita production and population growth, rising productivity, rapid structural transformation including urbanization, and the international flow of goods, capital and people. It then outlines Kuznets' view that economic growth involves a long-term rise in a country's capacity to supply diverse economic goods through advancing technology and the necessary institutional and ideological adjustments.

15. Schultz, Harbison, Denison, Kendrick, Abramovitz ,Becker ,Bowman
,Kuznets : rapid growth of the American economy has been the relatively
increasing outlays on education.
A dollar invested on education brings a greater increase in national income
than a dollar spent on dams, roads, factories or other tangible capital goods.
