Is there a limit to technological advancements? Are technological
advancements creating a more equal and fair world? Starting from
influential thinkers driving a never-ending evaluation of
development discourse - incorporating theories of modernisation,
endogenous growth, globalisation, neoliberalism and several others
- Seung-Jin Baek answers these questions and sets out practical
steps to create societies that are more equal in the Fourth
Industrial Revolution. This book explores why Western-centred
development strategies are unlikely to bring about similar
developmental paths and outcomes in developing economies. By
theoretically and empirically assessing the
Technology-Development-Inequality nexus, Baek explores why a
distorted developmental path has been observed in recent years,
with high income countries being associated with rising inequality.
This is important reading for all those seeking to understand
international development in a twenty-first century context.
