Resumo

This chapter presents an understanding of Solovian growth and the economic growth issue. It discusses the way in which a brilliant peasant named Oiko Nomos claimed a prize for optimum investment ratio. The Solovians were deeply impressed by Oiko and his theorems. Oiko suggested that associated with the golden-rule path is a unique capital–output ratio. If one's present capital–output ratio is smaller, then consumption must be slowed until the ratio is no longer deficient. If the present ratio exceeds the golden-rule ratio, then consumption must be made at a fast rate until the capital–output ratio is no longer excessive. The chapter discusses the way in which the kingdom followed the golden rule of accumulation.
