I am interested in the Kaldor-Kuznets-Solow consensus on the connection between Equity and Economic growth. Does anyone have some good reading suggestions on the subject ?
I am looking for the historical and empirical underpinnings as opposed to the theoretical.
I also find this topic of interest and would like to explore further. One paper on JSTOR is of good help. http://www.jstor.org/stable/4537750. Let me know if you can't download this. I am interested in the applicability of Kaldor's Law, the merits and demerits etc. If you have some advice, please to let me know. Hope to discuss this topic further.
Nov 10, 2009 – Fisher, B. and J.D. Erickson, “Growth and Equity: Dismantling the Kaldor-Kuznets-Solow Consensus"
Has a historical section I found interesting.

The Kuznets part always was hihgly controversial. All textbooks on Development discuss this. The Solow part needs adding aspects of globalization. Kaldor has contributed many important aspects but no framework integrating them: endogenous growth, scale economies, externalities, accelerator investment functions.
I read Kuznets texts about development in the university. Nicholas Kaldor is Keynesianan, He has papers about economic growth. Robert Solow supports the idea that to push economic growth is necessary three elements: education, productivity and technology.
