Honoring Keith Griffin's more than 40 years of fundamental
contributions to the discipline of economics, the papers in this
volume reflect his deep commitment to advancing the well-being of
the world's poor majority and his unflinching willingness to
question conventional wisdom as to how this should be done. Four
overarching themes recur in Keith Griffin's work and this book: the
need to both eradicate poverty and redress inequalities in the
distribution of wealth within and among nations; the impact of
growth on inequality, and conversely inequality's impact on growth;
the political economy of policy-making; and the need for openness
to heterogeneity in both analytic tools and in policy
recommendations. The volume begins with an introduction by the
editors followed by a paper by Keith Griffin. In succeeding
chapters the contributors explore strategies for reducing poverty
and inequality, and provide perspectives on issues such as human
development, the rural/urban divide in China, and biodiversity and
sustainability. Students, researchers, policymakers and NGO
analysts exploring issues in development economics, development
studies, alternative economic systems, globalization, environmental
sustainability, inequality and well-being will find this book of
great interest.
