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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melvin Ayogu,Don Ross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415331056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415331050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.52h x 6.54w x 0.82d","brand":"Melvin Ayogu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064897319167,"sku":"9780415331050","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b258ab1-9400-412a-82a5-ff491ca236be.jpg?v=1768671771","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/development-dilemmas-melvin-ayogu-9780415331050","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
