This will allow us to identify the conditions under which a poverty trap may arise in a Solow growth

Importantly, political and economic ties between the Celts of the isles and the Celts of Gaule intensified in the first century BC, providing yet further evidence that British isolationism has not been a long-term trend. The Picts of Scotland are often considered to be a Celtic
