Abstract: Abstract Addressing an American Economic Association session celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of his 1956 “Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth”, Robert Solow (2007, 3) issued a pointed reminder to his audience: “If you have been interested in growth theory for a while, you probably know that Trevor Swan—who was a splendid macroeconomist—also published a paper on growth theory in 1956. In that article, you can find the essentials of the basic neoclassical model of economic growth. Why did the version in my paper become the standard, and attract most of the attention?”
