Paperback. Zustand: Good. ?[An] urgent and important book.? ? Financial Times In the last thirty years, the developing world has undergone tremendous changes. Overall, poverty has fallen, people live longer and healthier lives, and economies have been transformed. And yet many countries have simply missed the boat. Why have some countries prospered, while others have failed? Stefan Dercon argues that the answer lies not in a specific set of policies, but rather in a key 'development bargain', whereby a country's elites shift from protecting their own positions to gambling on a growth-based future. Despite the imperfections of such bargains, China is among the most striking recent success stories, along with Indonesia and more unlikely places, such as Bangladesh, Ghana and Ethiopia. Gambling on Development is about these winning efforts, in contrast to countries stuck in elite bargains leading nowhere. Building on three decades' experience across forty-odd countries, Dercon winds his narrative through Ebola in Sierra Leone, scandals in Malawi, beer factories in the DRC, mobile phone licences in Mozambique, and relief programmes behind enemy lines in South Sudan. Weaving together conversations with prime ministers, civil servants and ordinary people, this is a probing look at how development has been achieved across the world, and how to assist such successes. How do countries achieve development? According to a leading economist, success arises when elites bet on growth.Draws on experience throughout the continent of Africa from Ebola in Sierra Leone, scandals in Malawi, beer factories in the DRC, mobile phone licences in Mozambique, and much more.Bestselling book, accessibly written for a general readership.…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Los países del primer mundo gastan mucho dinero en ayuda, aunque no tanto como antes. ¿Funciona o es, como algunos afirman, un desperdicio? Es más, ¿por qué algunos países se desarrollan y otros no? Este libro, escrito por uno de los más grandes economistas del desarrollo vivos, está lleno de ideas duramente ganadas y observaciones provocativas. La modestia radical de Dercon, su inteligencia feroz y su profundo compromiso para describir lo que realmente ocurre en el campo, en toda su hipocresía, comedia, tragedia, misterio e idealismo, lo distinguen en un campo que con demasiada frecuencia se define por el optimismo ingenuo y las soluciones milagrosas. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
