| description |
Development economists are paid to look
into the future. They ask not only how things work today,
but also how a new policy, program, or project will make
them work tomorrow. They view the world and history as a
learning process, past and present are just inputs into
thinking about what's coming. It is that appetite for a
vision of the future that led us to invite some 40
development economists, most of them from the World
Bank's poverty reduction and economic management
network, an epicenter of the profession, to tell us what
they see on the horizon of their technical disciplines and
of their geographic areas of specialization. The timing
could not be better. The 2008-09 global financial crises
shook the ground under the conventional wisdom that had been
held as true for decades. From what the role of governments
should be in markets to which countries will be the engines
of the world's economy, from what people need to leave
poverty to what businesses need to stay competitive, it is
all up for reexamination. This synthesis provides an account
of what the author heard. It is not meant to be
comprehensive. Instead, it picks from each chapter what is
new, what is likely to change, and what will be different in
the future. |
