Description
Stefan Dercon explores how some countries have prospered while others have failed in his analysis of development. He argues that success lies in a "development bargain," where elites shift from protecting their own positions to investing in growth. Dercon examines the experiences of countries like China, Indonesia, and Bangladesh, as well as those that have struggled, such as Malawi and South Sudan. Through conversations with prime ministers, civil servants, and ordinary people, he sheds light on how development has been achieved around the world. This book offers a probing look at the factors that contribute to successful development efforts, and how they can be replicated in other countries.
