Despite massive investment of money and research aimed at
ameliorating third-world poverty, the development strategies of the
international financial institutions over the past few decades have
been a profound failure. Under the tutelage of the World Bank,
developing countries have experienced lower growth and rising
inequality compared to previous periods. In "Beyond the World Bank
Agenda," Howard Stein argues that the controversial institution is
plagued by a myopic, neoclassical mindset that wrongly focuses on
individual rationality and downplays the social and political
contexts that can either facilitate or impede development.
Drawing on the examples of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and
transitional European economies, this revolutionary volume proposes
an alternative vision of institutional development with
chapter-length applications to finance, state formation, and health
care to provide a holistic, contextualized solution to the problems
of developing nations. "Beyond the World Bank Agenda" will be
essential reading for anyone concerned with forging a new strategy
for sustainable development.
