From the Publisher
"Finally, a twenty first century book about development that emphasizes how growth, diversification, equality, and the environment are the key ingredients for prosperity. This book couldn't come at a better time, as policy-makers and scholars debate what is next for the Millennium Development Goals." - Kevin P. Gallagher, Boston University, Boston, USA
"This book presents a valuable collection of studies that deal with the challenging trade-offs among inclusionary growth, environmental sustainability and structural transformation. It emphasizes the importance of growth-enhancing structural transformation as the basis for growth. An integrated approach is needed because an isolated analysis of each of the challenges is of limited use. This book is an important step in our common journey towards an integrated solution." - Keun Lee, Seoul National University, South Korea
"Developing countries today face a triple challenge: how to increase productivity, reduce inequalities of opportunity, and sustain environmental quality. Getting Development Right offers fresh insights into all three pieces of the development puzzle. The book strikes a fine balance in analyzing both the obstacles and the opportunities being created by the global integration of markets and governance." - James K. Boyce, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA
