This is blog is a learning journal to capture and share my learnings and thoughts on economic development and growth theories and practices.
I read a lot of books and articles, and I wanted a place not only to keep track of key information and maybe even start a conversation on economic development in Western Australia.
Below I will keep a record of the books I have referenced. Where websites are available, I will add direct hyperlinks.
