    Recall that in the Harrod-Domar‚ Kaldor-Robinson‚ Solow-Swan and the Cass-Koopmans growth models‚ we have maintained‚ either explicitly or implicitly‚ that technical change is "exogenous". In the Schumpeter version‚ this was not true: we had "swarms" of inventors arising under particular conditions. The Smithian and Ricardian models also had technical change arising from profit-squeezes or‚ in the particular case of Smith‚ arising because of previous technical conditions. Allyn A. Young (1928)

    "When I was one-and-twenty..." by A. E. Housman (1859-1936) When I was one-and-twenty

 ’Give crowns and pounds and guineas 
But not your heart away; 
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.’

 Was never given in vain; 
’Tis paid with sighs a plenty
 And sold for endless rue.’
 And I am two-and-twenty‚
 And oh

Before we begin the surgical procedure‚ we need to understand the difference between the 4 types of pacemakers. External (transcutaneous) pacemakers are outside of the body‚ but the wires are attached to the skin. This type is used for emergencies because they are only temporary.
