| Summary: | This book is about a collection of
speeches -all delivered since Nicholas Stern became Chief
Economist of the World Bank in July 2000- they reflect
insights that Mr. Stern has gained over more than three
decades of study and work in development economics. Together
they provide an analysis of development experience and an
agenda for action in coming years. In his introduction the
author explains the evolution of his ideas, starting with
early work in Africa and India, within the larger context of
changes in development thinking and strategy. The speeches
that follow draw on his varied experience and on the
research findings and operational experience of the World
Bank. The first speech provides and overview of the past
five decades of development. Speeches that follow explore
current development issues in India, Indonesia, Pakistan,
and China. A strategy for development is then outlined;
building an economic climate that facilitates investment and
growth, and empowering poor people to participate in that
growth. A concluding speech examines the role of the
international financial institutions in promoting investment
and overcoming poverty. |
