Book Description
Washington, D.C.: Brookings Institute Press, 2006. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. Much of what we call the developing world has stopped developing, while growth in other regions has slowed. As a result, billions of people remain trapped in poverty, despite decades of foreign aid and lending by multilateral institutions such as the World Bank. In the past, economists prescribed liberalization and privatization to governments seeking to improve their economic performance. But dissatisfaction with these remedies in many countries left policymakers searching for new methods to jumpstart growth. In this book Kenneth Dam explores the newly ascendant view that institutions - in particular, the rule of law - play a critical role in determining which economies thrive and which lag behind. The author explains what policymakers need to know about the relationship between legal institutions and economic growth. Dam uses an extended analysis of China to assess the importance of the rule of law. This case study illustrates several of the book's central themes, including the difficulting of building a strong, independent judiciary and a first-class financial sector. 323 pages with index, references, and footnotes. 33 pages are cut short at the top; doesn't affect reading. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
