The Elusive Quest for Growth
Economists' Adventures and Misadventures in the Tropics
William R. Easterly
Looking for insight into why attempts to help poorer countries attain economic success have failed? Look no further than this accessible and thought-provoking read from author William R. Easterly. Analyzing a variety of proposed solutions - from foreign aid to education - it becomes clear that the issue isn't necessarily with the economic principles themselves, but rather their practical application. Join Easterly in exploring the importance of growth, the solutions that haven't worked, and possible alternative approaches grounded in economic incentives.
