	Robert Solow - Biocrawler
		Robert Merton Solow (born August 23, 1924) is an American economist particularly known for his work on the theory of economic growth.
		Solow's model of economic growth, often known as the neo-classical growth model, allows the determinants of economic growth to be separated out into increases in inputs (labour and capital) and technical progress.
		Since Solow's initial work in the 1950s, many more sophisticated models of economic growth have been proposed, leading to varying conclusions about the causes of economic growth.

		Solow followed shortly after with another pioneering article, "Technical Change and the Aggregate Production Function." Before that article, economists had believed that the main causes of economic growth were increases in capital and labor.
		Solow also was the first to develop a growth model with different vintages of capital.
		Solow once wrote that Galbraith's disdain for ordinary consumer goods "reminds one of the Duchess who, upon acquiring a full appreciation of sex, asked the Duke if it were not perhaps too good for the common people." Of Milton Friedman, Solow wrote, "Everything reminds Milton of the money supply.

		Solow’s essential argument is that the poorest members of society should not be guaranteed a dole, but instead be guaranteed a job that pays them enough for them to live on, including the cost of adequate job training, child care and health care.
		Solow estimates that a 1 per cent increase in the demand for labor would require a 2 or 3 per cent decline in real wages overall, but that most of the burden would fall on low-wage workers who have been employed all along.

	Powell's Books - Work and Welfare (University Center for Human Values) by Robert M Solow
		Solow presents a grim but accurate picture of the meager job prospects of most welfare recipients.
		Solow contends that the demand implicit in the 1996 Welfare Reform Act for welfare recipients to find work in the existing labor market has two crucial flaws.
		Solow concludes that it is legitimate to want welfare recipients to work, but not to want them to live at a miserable standard or to benefit at the expense of the working poor, especially since children are often the first to suffer.

	Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis-The Region- Robert Solow Interview (September 2002)
		Solow's model fundamentally changed economic analysis, providing “a framework within which modern macroeconomic theory can be structured,” according to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which selected Solow as the 1987 recipient of the Nobel prize in economics.
		SOLOW: Exactly, and the reason is that if you want to talk about “the rate of growth” as an independent intellectual object, you need a linearity assumption; but talking about a rate of growth as an object may itself be an interference with intellectual progress.
		SOLOW: I was very critical of the welfare reform act of 1996, but not because I was against welfare reform and specifically not because I was against trying to convert welfare into work.

		Solow believes that recipients should work for benefits but not as required under existing workfare rules.
		Solow dismisses the distinction frequently made between ordinary disabilities and “socio-economic disabilities.” While the public recognizes ordinary disabilities as legitimate, “apparently, socio-economic disabilities do not count.” But Solow's thinking is an affront to common sense.
		It is ironic that Solow's idea of propriety is to sustain a welfare state that has imprisoned generations of the poor in a trap far worse than any Victorian poorhouse he could imagine.
