-->"This is a paper about economic growth, and implicitly also about the lack of it. We postulate a religious/philosophical gestalt-switch - a fundamental change of Man’s world view - as a necessary pre-condition for economic growth. Our contention is that the attitude to creation of new knowledge - which is changed by this gestalt-switch - is a basic but neglected explanatory variable for economic growth and its absence."
