Ladislau Dowbor rejects both old-fashioned statist economics and utopian 'post-economics' ideas of social organization. Instead, he pulls together a rich mixture of detailed and practical conclusions about economic and social policy, drawing on his own work as an economic adviser in countries as diverse as Poland, Portugal, Guinea Bissau, post-Soviet Mongolia, Sandinista Nicaragua, democratic South Africa and President Lula's Brazil. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis approaches and principles are relevant to all developing countries as they seek new policies to replace neoliberal prescriptions that have delivered neither growth, social justice, nor environmental sustainability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ladislau Dowbor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1842776339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781842776339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.56w x 0.39d","brand":"Ladislau Dowbor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44245327446271,"sku":"9781842776339","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_853bdf3b-62b4-40ce-a73c-f07a6f11a9f4.jpg?v=1693927415","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-broken-mosaic-ladislau-dowbor-9781842776339","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
