This book takes issue with the nostrums that underlie free market policies in both developing countries and the rich industrial nations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors want to rethink economics as a discipline and development as a process. Economics needs to redefine many of its concepts to reflect the complex realities of functioning economies. And development needs to be reconceived as a process of social change, in which each country's particular history and institutional workings take centre stage. They point the way to a much more sophisticated understanding of economic development. The ultimate prize, if theory can be grounded in a more accurate analysis of social change, is policies that really will deliver higher economic growth and greater social justice worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Silvana de Paula\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1842775855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781842775851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.22w x 0.74d","brand":"Silvana de Paula","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48014064058623,"sku":"9781842775851","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d171c3a-98e9-4e6f-bdd1-94d2d2e77b24.jpg?v=1767746505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reimagining-growth-silvana-de-paula-9781842775851","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
