It is widely believed that economic development in much of the
world is not happening quickly enough. Indeed, the standard of
living in some parts of the world has actually been declining. Many
experts now doubt that the solution can be purely technical and
economic; it must also be political and moral. This book brings
together contributions from leading authorities, such as Joseph
Stiglitz, Jean-Jacques Laffont and Daniel Hausman, on economics and
political philosophy to survey current barriers to growth,
including problems with policy and problems with concepts and
thinking. Getting policies right, the contributors stress, is a
complicated task in itself, but it also may not be enough; instead,
people in both the developed and developing worlds may also need to
reconsider basic and time-worn beliefs about facts, values, the
measurement of data, rights, needs and the nature of government. Of
interest to economics and policy makers, Development Dilemmas is a
long-awaited addition to the debate over economics and political
philosophy in the developing world.
