Description

Explore the complex history and current state of global economic theory with Development Economics: Aptly or Wrongly Named? published by Routledge. Since the post-World War II era, many experts have suggested that adopting Western institutions is the primary solution for global issues like poverty, hunger, inequality, and violence. This book examines the results of seventy years of attempts to apply the Western model to different historical and cultural settings. It questions why these efforts often fail to produce the expected prosperity, acting more like a mirage than a reality for many nations. Readers will engage with critical questions regarding why economists continue to focus on ideas of development, convergence, and the emulation of Western lifestyles despite the mixed results of previous decades. It is a necessary read for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the realities of economic policy and global development.
