This important collection tackles the failure of neoliberal
reform to generate long-term growth and reduce poverty in many
developing and transition economies. As dramatically demonstrated
in the collapse of the WTO's Seattle talks, there is increasing
dissatisfaction, in both developing and developed countries, with
the emerging neoliberal global economic order. The resignations of
Joseph Stiglitz and Ravi Kanbur from the World Bank emphasize that
this disillusionment with the orthodoxy now exists at the very
heart of the establishment. Yet the increasing demand for an
alternative to this orthodoxy is not being met. Over the last few
decades, the older generation of development economists have been
edged out of most major universities, particularly in the USA. The
situation in most developing countries is even worse: although
there is more demand for alternatives to orthodox development
economics, these countries have even less capability to generate
such alternatives. 'Rethinking Development Economics' is intended
to fill this gap, addressing key issues in development economics,
ranging from macroeconomics, finance and governance to trade,
industry, agriculture and poverty. Bringing together some of the
foremost names in the field, this comprehensive and timely
collection constitutes a critical staging post in the future of
development economics.
