Southern Engines of Global Growth: Very Long Cycles or Short Spurts?
Published By: UNU-WIDER on eSS | Published Date: February, 15 , 2008This article views the four economies of the South in a long run historical perspective of
1500-2000. It contrasts the history and the initial endowments of the two Northern
hemisphere economies China and India which are land scarce and labour abundant with
the two Southern hemisphere economies Brazil and South Africa which are land
abundant and labour scarce.
It argues for different strategies for future growth and discusses impediments which
may come in the paths of these four economies in the near future. [Discussion Paper No. 2008/02]
