Tóm tắt

In 1930, John Maynard Keynes explored long‐term economic growth, anticipating that the economic problem of scarcity was likely to vanish in a century’s time. The Keynes’ scenario is confronted with current developments related to the growth of services and to the distributional and environmental aspects of sustainable development.
