Description
Stefan Dercon explores the complex factors behind a country's success in development, arguing that the key to prosperity lies in a 'development bargain' where elites prioritize growth over self-interest. Through case studies of countries such as China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Ghana, and Ethiopia, Dercon examines the imperfections of such bargains and how they have contributed to these nations' growth. Dercon's analysis draws on three decades of experience across forty-odd countries, weaving together conversations with key figures and ordinary people to provide a nuanced look at the challenges and opportunities of development. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of how development has been achieved in different contexts, and how to support such successes.
