Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected
open access locations. Developing countries seek economic
development which is broad-based or inclusive in the sense that it
raises the income of all, especially the poor. Yet this is at odds
with Simon Kuznets' hypothesis that economic development tends to
put upward pressure on income inequality, at least initially and in
the absence of countervailing policies. The Developer's Dilemma
explores this 'Kuznetsian tension' between structural
transformation and income inequality. The book asks: what are the
varieties of structural transformation that have been experienced
in developing countries? What inequality dynamics are associated
with each variety of structural transformation? And what policies
have been utilized to manage trade-offs between structural
transformation, income inequality, and inclusive growth? Across
nine country cases written by academics across the Global South,
this book answers these questions using a comparative case study
approach with a common analytical framework and a set of common
datasets. The intended intellectual contribution of the book is to
provide a comparative analysis of the relationship between
structural transformation, income inequality, and inclusive growth;
to do so empirically at a regional and national level, and to draw
conclusions about the varieties of structural transformation, their
inequality dynamics, and the policies that have been employed to
mediate the developer's dilemma.
