Description

Understand the powerful impact that elite groups have on national growth and development outcomes. While a country's natural resources and endowments set the stage for growth, the actual path a nation takes is often determined by the decisions made by its leaders and influential figures. This volume from the WIDER Studies in Development Economics series examines the core questions surrounding elite influence. It explores why some elites prioritize national welfare while others focus on individual gain. The text investigates how these groups perceive poverty and whether their current choices are limited by the institutions and norms built in previous eras. Through detailed case studies ranging from South Africa to China, this book provides a deep look into the dynamics of economic decision-making. It is a valuable resource for anyone studying how power structures shape the economic future of developing nations.

Key Features

Examines how elite actions shape the trajectory of economic growth beyond a country's basic endowments.

Investigates the motivations behind elite decisions, specifically regarding national welfare versus individual gain.

Analyzes the relationship between current elite behavior and the institutions or norms established in the past.

Provides diverse perspectives through specific case studies covering regions such as South Africa and China.

Offers insight into how influential groups perceive and respond to the problem of poverty.

Part of the respected WIDER Studies in Development Economics series from Oxford University Press.
