Economic growth theory can be divided into early growth theory and newer models of “endogenous” growth. The chief insight from the early growth theory [Solow (1956)] was that an efficient economy leads to a steady state solution where product per worker does not grow without invention and innovation. When exogenous technological change is introduced in these models, product per worker does grow. Invention and innovation are required for economic growth. Jones (2002) reports a “Malthusian” extension of early growth theory. Under the assumption that cultivable land is in fixed supply, Jones shows that the steady state solution is.
