Work
Galor has made significant contributions to the study of income distribution and economic growth, the transition from stagnation to growth, and human evolution and economic development. He has made other significant contributions to the study of development traps, the demographic transition, and the advancement of the foundations of overlapping-generations models.
Galor has founded the field of unified growth theory which models the growth process over the entire history of the human species. Moreover he has pioneered research on the interaction between human evolution and economic development. His latest involvement has been to understand the deep determinants of economic growth over the long run - primarily the effect of genetic diversity on income growth.
In 2010, Galor published a textbook on Discrete Dynamical Systems; and in the following year of 2011, authored a definitive textbook on Unified Growth Theory.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“Hemingway is great in that alone of living writers he has saturated his work with the memory of physical pleasure, with sunshine and salt water, with food, wine and making love and the remorse which is the shadow of that sun.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“There are hardly half a dozen writers in England today who have not sold out to the enemy. Even when their good work has been a success, Mammon grips them and whispers: “More money for more work.””
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“Let’s holler and ask him if he won’t prescribe
For all humanity a complete rest
From all this wagery. But what’s the use
Of asking any sympathy of him?
That class of people don’t know what work is....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
