Left Behind - A New Economics for Neglected Places

In this new book [Collier] draws lessons from a variety of ''left behind'' places in the global north and the south... In these examples we see approaches tailored to local needs, rather than economic dogma dictated from afar. We see a focus on inclusive prosperity and participation. And we see agency rather than dependence and external control... an altogether more useful book that might make a difference in the here and now>
