Why the study of growth is always a study of renewal

Prof. Pushpendra Singh, Assistant Professor - Economics, K J Somaiya Institute of Management, shared his insights in The Indian Express (UPSC Essentials) in an article titled ‘Why the study of growth is always a study of renewal’. In the piece, Prof. Singh adds an economist’s lens to the discussion, connecting renewal to capability building and institutional learning. He highlights how the movement of ideas across borders, the diffusion of technology, and the reallocation of resources act as critical engines that refresh productivity and sustain long-term growth. 

The article guides readers on why these narratives matter, emphasizing that renewal requires policy agility, inclusion, and investment in human capital to help societies adapt faster to change.
