The book presents a comprehensive and incisive analysis of Structural transformation which is among the most relevant and crucial themes of contemporary economics. Structural transformation is the edifice that is the basis of the next phase of economic transformation. The book demonstrates that structural transformation cannot be shoe horned into a single point formula, it is not merely about achieving a double-digit growth rate, nor it is achieved by an overarching emphasis on rapid technological advancement. 
Based on empirical evidence pertinent to developed and developing nations and present imperatives the book provides a comprehensive elucidation that that structural transformation will be profoundly determined by the empirics of investment, Innovation and Institutions.
