Description
Elites exert disproportionate influence over economic development outcomes, shaping how a nation's resources translate into growth and prosperity. This Oxford University Press volume examines the critical question of what determines whether elites deploy their power for personal enrichment or national welfare. Through case studies spanning South Africa to China, the book investigates how elites perceive poverty, the extent to which historical institutions constrain contemporary decision-making, and the mechanisms driving elite engagement with economic development. Understanding elite behaviour is essential for policymakers, economists, and development professionals seeking to influence the trajectory of economic progress in emerging and developing nations.

Key Features

Published by Oxford University Press as part of the respected WIDER Studies in Development Economics series.

Explores case studies from diverse regions including South Africa and China to analyse elite decision-making patterns.

Examines the tension between elite self-interest and national welfare in shaping development outcomes.

Investigates how historical institutions and established norms constrain contemporary elite actions and choices.

Provides evidence-based analysis of how elites perceive and respond to poverty within their societies.
