The purpose of this lecture is to:

\n

1. Penetrate some of the great historical enigmas associated with the process of world growt h\, such as industrial takeoff\, major technological waves\, secular stagn ation\, the evolution of inequality\, convergence and divergence across co untries\, the middle-income trap\, and structural change.

\n

2. Revis it the great debates over innovation and growth in developed nations: Can we foster innovation and creative destruction while at the same time prote cting the environment and reducing inequality? Can we avoid creative destr uction’s potentially detrimental effects on employment\, health\, and we ll-being? Must we fear the digital and artificial intelligence revolutions ?

\n

3. Rethink the role of the state and civil society: What role ca n each of them play to stimulate innovation and creative destruction and t hereby increase the wealth of nations? How can we protect citizens and the economy from the excesses of capitalism?
