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:
“Oh sure, everyone goes back to the earth at some point, but life itself is a thread that is never broken, never lost. Do you know why? Because each man makes a knot in the thread during his lifetime: it is the work he has done and that’s what gives life to life in the long stretch of time: the usefulness of man on this earth.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“A good short story is a work of art which daunts us in proportion to its brevity.... No inspiration is too noble for it; no amount of hard work is too severe for it.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“In some withdrawn, unpublic mead
Let me sigh upon a reed,
Or in the woods, with leafy din,
Whisper the still evening in:
Some still work give me to do,—
Only—be it near to you!
For I’d rather be thy child
And pupil, in the forest wild,
Than be the king of men elsewhere,
And most sovereign slave of care:
To have one moment of thy dawn,
Than share the city’s year forlorn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
