DESCRIPTION:It is a striking fact that the classical economists\, Adam Smi
 th\, Malthus\, and Ricardo all believed that prolonged economic growth was
  impossible -- ironic since Adam Smith is sometimes pictured as suggesting
  the path to the industrial revolution. But they had good grounds for pes
 simism given the nature of the economies with which they were familiar. I
 t is convenient to label all economies before the industrial revolution as
  'organic'. I shall try to explain the nature of these economies and the
  kind of change necessary to escape from the restrictions under which they
  laboured.
