With the recent culmination of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals now is key time to reflect on the progress of the ‘most successful anti-poverty movement in history’, and consider the challenges moving forwards. This book helps us to understand how the future might be shaped. Development in Crisis is a provocative collection of real-world case studies in development and globalization, authored by two of America’s top development experts. They examine the threats to growth and human welfare worldwide covering issues such as falling state capacity, declining technological innovation, increasing class inequality and persisting gender inequality. |
