The essays center on a few broad themes: population and its relation to economic growth, capital formation in long historical perspective, the broader features of modern economic growth, and recent changes in the gap between the rich and poor countries. The themes are clearly interrelated. Even a selection on the supply of and demand for economic data bears on the others, since it deals with the conditions that limit the quantitative study of economic growth. Included in the volume and published for the first time in book form is Professor Kuznet's Nobel Laureate address, "Modern Economic Growth: Findings and Reflections."

"Insightful and filled with verve...electrifying." -Wall Street Journal

Citing the mythical Baron von Munchhausen's method of rescuing himself and his horse from drowning by hoisting himself up by his pigtail, Paul Watzlawick, in this collection of essays and lectures, asks: do we - by choosing to see the world in a particular way - blind ourselves to seeing it another way? Is it possible to pull oneself (or others) out of some untenable situation and see life from the outside with new eyes?With his usual insight and wit, Dr. Watzlawick shows us how we can change our perspective of reality to suit our needs rather than adhering to a fixed view, and thus avoid the consequences of self-imposed limitations. Along the way he pays homage to such seminal thinkers as anthropologist Gregory Bateson, psychiatrist Don D. Jackson, hypnotherapist Milton H. Erickson, and bio-cybernetician Heinz von Foerster, whose writings have influenced his own work and the collective work of the Mental Research Institute at Palo Alto.
