This paper analyzes Joan Robinsons growth model, and then adapted in order
to provide an exploratory taxonomy of Growth Eras. The Growth Eras or Ages were for Robinson a way to provide logical connections among output growth, capital accumulation, the degree of thriftiness, the real wage and illustrate a catalogue of growth possibilities. This modified taxonomy follows the spirit of Robinsons work, but it takes different theoretical approaches, which imply that some of her classifications do not fit perfectly the ones here
