Readers will be left with little doubt that the China case is important, not only for its scale, but for real innovation in finding ways to accelerate innovation processes. As the world faces important challenges, in which accelerated innovation is a critical capability, the China experience covered in this volume holds important lessons for a wide range of developed and emerging economies. * Michael Spence, Nobel Laureate and William R.

Contributions also capture important new developments in China's innovation system aiming at environmental sustainability and the promotion of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence.

Even if they are not technically slaves, they are denied elementary freedoms and remain imprisoned in one way or another by economic poverty, social deprivation, political tyranny or cultural authoritarianism. The main purpose of development is to spread freedom and its ''thousand charms'' to the unfree citizens. Freedom, Sen persuasively argues, is at once the ultimate goal of social and economic arrangements and the most efficient means of realizing general welfare. Social institutions like markets, political parties, legislatures, the judiciary, and the media contribute to development by enhancing individual freedom and are in turn sustained by social values. Values, institutions, development, and freedom are all closely interrelated, and Sen links them together in an elegant analytical framework.

By showing that the quality of our lives should be measured not by our wealth but by our freedom, his writings have revolutionized the theory and practice of development. The United Nations, in its own development work, has benefited immensely from the wisdom and good sense of Professor Sen's views. * Kofi A. Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations *\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Amartya Sen develops elegantly, compactly, and yet broadly the concept that economic development is in its nature an increase in freedom.

Few people would want others to do so. Yet, millions of people worldwide live in poverty. According to the World Bank, over 700 million people lived on less than US $2 a day in 2013. Why is that? What has been done about it in the past? And what is being done about it now?In this Very Short Introduction Philip N. Jefferson explores how the answers to these questions lie in the social, political, economic, educational, and technological processes that impact all of us throughout our lives. The degree of vulnerability is all that differentiates us. He shows how a person''s level of vulnerability to adverse changes in their life is very much dependent on the circumstances of their birth, including where their family lived, the schools they attended, whether it was peacetime or wartime, whether they had access to clean water, and whether they are male or female. Arguing that whilst poverty is ancient and enduring, the conversation about it is always new and evolving, Jefferson looks at the history of poverty, and the practical and analytical efforts we have made to eradicate it, and the prospects for further poverty alleviation in the future.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

Challenging current responses emphasizing the role of institutions and democratic governance, Hickey, Sen, and their colleagues demonstrate convincingly that the nature of elite coalitions, and the ideas they embrace, condition development outcomes. In this incisive study of how several African countries have chosen to exploit their natural resources, deliver social services, and build state capacity, these scholars explain how the politics of elite bargains contribute to or diminish development potential. * Merilee S.

This landmark volume contains the best synthesis yet of what rigorous social science - as opposed to amateur speculation and academic dogma - has to say on this important perennial question. The answer turns out to be complicated but, in Hickey and Sen's lucid treatment, not at all obscure. Action-oriented professionals who have been demanding usable guidance on the subject should not be disappointed. Nor should scholars in mainstream economics and political science fields so long as they engage with its arguments seriously. The book not only challenges some standard assumptions that should have been consigned to the intellectual junk-yard long ago but provides a richly referenced discussion on the basis of an ample evidence-base that will be new to many. * David Booth, Senior Research Fellow, ODI *\u003cbr\u003eThis book builds a powerful framework to illustrate how underdevelopment is a political problem.

We hear the facts, see the images on television, buy the T-shirt and are moved as individuals and governments to dig deep into our pockets. Yet what happens to all this aid? Why after 50 years and $2.3 trillion are there still children dying for lack of twelve cents medicine? Why are there so many people still living on less than $1 a day without clean water, food, sanitation, shelter, education or medicine?In The White Man''s Burden William Easterly, acclaimed author and former economist at the World Bank, addresses these twin tragedies head on. While recognising the energy and compassion behind the campaign to make poverty history he argues urgently and powerfully that grand plans and good intentions are a part of the problem not the solution. Giving aid is not enough, we must ensure that it reaches the people who need it most and the only way to make this happens is through accountability and by learning from past experiences. Without claiming to have all the answers, William Easterly chastises the complacent and patronising attitude of the West that attempts to impose solutions from above. In this book, which is by turns angry, moving, irreverent but always rigorous, he calls on each and everyone of us to take responsibility, whether donors, aid workers or ordinary citizens, so that more aid reaches the people it is supposed to help, the mother who cannot feed her children, the little girl who has to collect firewood rather than go to school, the father who cannot work because he has been crippled by war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompelling reading...Easterly's book is an important one, and the arguments he raises cannot and should not be ignored. * London Book Review.com *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHY PLANNERS CANNOT BRING PROSPERITY; ACTING OUT THE BURDEN; THE WHITE MAN'S ARMY; THE FUTURE","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732836364631,"sku":"9780199226115","price":13.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780199226115.jpg?v=1719998606"},{"product_id":"poverty-development-9780199563241","title":"Poverty  Development","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePoverty \u0026amp; Development in the 21st Century provides a fully updated, interdisciplinary overview of one of the world''s most complex and pressing social problems.

Based on the classic policy sciences approach, the book offers over 100 diagnostic indicators keyed to identify problems of policy processes, policy content, bureaucratic behavior, stakeholder behavior, and national-subnational interactions. This multi-disciplinary framework is applied to a host of policy problems that particularly plague countries experiencing the ''under-development syndrome'', including aborted programs and projects, policy impasses, distorted implementation, unnecessary harm and conflict, and shortsighted initiatives.

By about 5,000 years ago, the first city-states had appeared. This radical transformation in human society laid the foundations for the modern world. We use economic logic and archaeological evidence to explain six key elements in this revolution: sedentism, agriculture, inequality, warfare, cities, and states. In our approach the ultimate cause of these events was climate change. We show how shifts in climate interacted with geography to drive technological innovation and population growth. The accumulation of population at especially rich locations led to creation of group property rights over land, stratification into elite and commoner classes, and warfare over land among rival elites. This set the stage for urbanization based on manufacturing or military defense and for elite-controlled states based on taxation.

James Robinson, University of Chicago\u003cbr\u003e'This book is remarkable. It proposes an elegant microeconomic theory that grapples well with archaeology's confusingly rich prehistoric record. The book looks deeply and broadly to discuss how rational decisions may underlie major social transitions including beginning agriculture, expanding warfare, and first urbanism. The authors emphasize the value of generality with a unified theory that admirably challenges prehistorians to contemplate coherence in human history, anthropologists to reconsider their commitment to cultural uniqueness, and economists to incorporate long-term human prehistory in theory building.' Timothy Earle, Northwestern University\u003cbr\u003e'This is the first book that applies modern economic analysis to the study of prehistory and explains how it's done. More than that, it presents the approach in such a way as to be accessible to a range of relevant audiences that do not have strong mathematical skills. I think it could mark the beginning of a new interdisciplinary field.

Nor are they going to.  State-driven and market-led development models have both failed. Many countries, and their cities in particular, are collapsing into ungovernable chaotic entities. De Rivero shows that the root of this chaos is not simply economic, but stems from a much more profound crisis of our way of life and of our unsustainable global urban civilization. Arguing that the 'wealth of nations' agenda must be replaced by a 'survival of nations' agenda in order to prevent increasing human misery and political disorder, De Riviero explains why many countries must abandon dreams of development and adopt instead a policy of national survival based on providing basic water, food, renewable energy, and stabilizing their populations.

It develops a theoretical framework through which to analyze them, and it presents a series of case studies to demonstrate how residents invent new DIY tactics and strategies in response to security, place-making, or economic problems.

With the recent decline of commodity prices, it has become apparent that many African economies, which are resource-based, have suffered greatly. The economies of Africa cannot be lifted up only through programs of aid. Indigenous high-impact entrepreneurs are needed, as they know how to best inspire, act as role models for other Africans and serve their fellow entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurial ventures in the financial services sector hold special importance because of the role that they play in the entrepreneurship ecosystem. Financial services are an essential element in powering entrepreneurial activity beyond resource extraction, yet in most sub-Saharan African countries, the financial services sector is relatively nascent compared to developed markets.

There is now a rush by governments and private companies to expand in the rapidly growing region, to the extent that we can begin to talk of a process of world-wide investment.

Using an interdisciplinary approach, the author proposes that Africa will only get maximum benefits from high-level investment activities if it succeeds in evolving an Africa-driven foreign investment policy.
