Book Synopsis
Under the tutelage of the World Bank, developing countries have experienced lower growth and rising inequality. This book argues that the institution is plagued by a myopic, neoclassical mindset that wrongly focuses on individual rationality and downplays the social and political contexts that can either facilitate development.

Trade Review
"Beyond the World Bank Agenda will certainly make an important and novel contribution to the literature. Howard Stein puts forward an institutional approach to development, very different and more akin to the real world than the prevailing view. Commendable." - Philip Arestis, Cambridge Center for Economic and Public Policy, Department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge"
