Explanation of Solution

In an economy, the first sustained economic growth happened in Country ‘E’ in the late 1700’s and spread across the countries ‘WE’ over the next few years. However, a thousand year ago, the standard of living was somewhat equal across the countries, and Robert Lucas summed it up by saving incomes that changed by a factor of maybe two. Thus, now a days, the standard of living varies by a factor of 30, maybe as high as 50 across countries.
