The Growth Process: From Agriculture to Industry
The production possibility frontier shows all the combinations of output that can be produced if all society’s scarce resources are fully and efficiently employed. Economic growth expands society’s production possibilities, shifting the ppf up and to the right.

The Growth Process: From Agriculture to Industry
Beginning in England around 1750, technical change and capital accumulation increased productivity significantly in two important industries: agriculture and textiles.
More could be produced with fewer resources, leading to new products, more output, and wider choice.
A rural agrarian society was very quickly transformed into an urban industrial society.

The Growth Process: From Agriculture to Industry
Economic growth continues today, and while the underlying process is still the same, the face is different.
Growth comes from a bigger workforce and more productive workers. Higher productivity comes from tools (capital), a better-educated and more highly skilled workforce (human capital), and increasingly from innovation and technical change (new techniques of production) and newly developed products and services.

The Sources of Economic Growth
aggregate production function The mathematical representation of the relationship between inputs and national output, or gross domestic product.
An increase in GDP can come about through
1. An increase in the labor supply.
2. An increase in physical or human capital.
3. An increase in productivity (the amount of product produced by each unit of capital or labor).

Economies of Scale
External economies of scale are cost savings that result from increases in the size of industries.
In addition to technological change, other advances in knowledge, and economies of scale, other forces may affect productivity.

Growth and the Environment and Issues of Sustainability
One measure of air pollution is smoke in cities. The relationship between smoke concentration and per-capita GDP is an inverted U: As countries grow wealthier, smoke increases and then declines.

Growth and the Environment and Issues of Sustainability
Sustainability of Resource Extraction Growth Strategies
Much of Southeast Asia has fueled its growth through export-led manufacturing. For countries that have based their growth on resource extraction, there is another set of potential sustainability issues.
Because extraction can be accomplished without a well-educated labor force, while other forms of development are more dependent on a skilled- labor base, public investment in infrastructure is especially important.
