{"product_id":"latin-american-development-priorities-bjrn-lomborg-9780521747523","title":"Latin American Development Priorities: Costs and Benefits","description":"Many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have achieved considerable economic growth, yet the region still faces many seemingly intractable problems. The conventional wisdom in development agencies - that prioritization is impossible and that everything must be done - is simply not effective. Latin American Development Priorities shows how limited resources could be used for the greatest benefit of the Latin American and Caribbean region. A panel of economists met over three days in San Jos  to review proposals to tackle the ten most important challenges, which emerged from a survey by the Inter-American Development Bank. The expert panel was asked a question which appears simple but is actually very difficult to answer: What should Latin American governments do with an additional nominal $10 billion? Hard choices are needed if Latin America's problems are to be tackled effectively. This book provides the means to make those choices as objectively as possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bjn Lomborg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 052174752X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521747523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Bjn Lomborg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920061890815,"sku":"9780521747523","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b5700ba1-00e1-4ba4-83ed-0cc492a2d302.jpg?v=1680813388","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/latin-american-development-priorities-bjrn-lomborg-9780521747523","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
