How can the successful development of some former Third World
countries be explained, while other developing countries have
remained stagnant or worse, have deteriorated into failed states?
This book offers a history of the economics of development. De Haan
examines how the right mix of policies and evolving insights in
development economics have impacted certain countries with the
progression from low-income to middle-income, and even high-income
status. In particular middle-income countries encounter hindrances
to transit into high-income countries. The challenges of low-income
countries and those of fragile and failed states is elaborated as
well. Due attention is given to successive generations of
development economists, economic growth models and international
trade theories to provide academic background to the evolution or
stagnation of developing countries. The author's own experience in
development aid is woven into the text, making this book important
and entertaining reading for researchers, students of development
economics, international trade and international aid.
From Keynes to Piketty provides the reader with an accessible and
entertaining insight into the development of economic thought over
the past century. Starting with John Maynard Keynes's bestseller,
The Economic Consequences of Peace (1919), and ending with Thomas
Piketty's blockbuster, Capital in the Twenty First Century (2014),
the author explains which dramatic political and economic events
changed the way economists interpreted these events, and how they
revolutionized the economic science. The book contains biographies
of Keynes, Schumpeter, Galbraith, Hayek, Friedman, Hirschman,
North, and Piketty, alongside others, and highlights their
extraordinary lives and works, anecdotes about them, and their
often sharp differences of opinion. Extensive summaries of their
main works provide the interested scholar and student with an
accurate presentation of their contents. A must-read for all those
who wonder what happened to economics during the past century, and
why.
