Summary |
The books brings readers right into the trenches of economic development to show what practitioners are actually doing and explains the issues, dilemmas, options, frustrations and opportunities they face, day in and day out. The author outlines the frontier of the development practice or, as he put it, "the point at which knowledge stops and ignorance begins". he takes readers from why it is so difficult to get governments to function, to the basic policies that economies need to work well, the powerful new tools for social assistance, and the challenges of inclusion, education, health, infrastructure, technology, data, and foreign aid. The book draws examples from world over, but pays particular attention to the region that represents development.
