TL;DR: The authors argue that domestic social conflicts are a key to understanding why growth rates lack persistence and why so many countries have experienced a growth collapse after the mid-1970s, emphasizing the manner in which social conflicts interact with external shocks on the one hand, and the domestic institutions of conflict management on the other hand.
