Language: English Table of ContentsReviewsLin . . . and Monga . . . bring to bear their considerable scholarly credentials and practical know-how in this iconoclastic treatment of economics development in poor countries.--Foreign Affairs Shortlisted for the 2018 Africa-Asia ICAS Book Prize, International Convention of Asia Scholars and Association for Asian Studies in Africa In their terrific new book, Beating the Odds: Jump-Starting Developing Countries, Justin Yifu Lin and C lestin Monga give the best overview account I've read of how countries might begin to achieve the lift-off from poverty trajectory, and an outline of how in practical terms governments might go about it. And although directed at poor countries, their analysis is more general.--Enlightened Economist Justin Yifu Lin and C lestin Monga draw on long experience and insightful analysis to show how successful economic development depends, first and foremost, on a pragmatic assessment of each nation's comparative advantages and a realistic understanding of how they can change over time --Roger Myerson, University of Chicago, Nobel Laureate in Economics After the failure of Washington Consensus economic policies, Justin Yifu Lin and C lestin Monga draw on examples of successful economic development from all over the world to show us the way forward. Rather than focus on austerity and painful 'reform' programs, Lin and Monga demonstrate that there is a role for government, industrial policy, and other measures that help business grow and create jobs. They forcefully show that another world is possible. --Joseph E. Stiglitz, Columbia University, Nobel Laureate in Economics This powerful book brings encouraging news to developing countries. A nation does not have to be developed to achieve economic growth: Witness Israel's cultivation of the Negev Desert and Mali's vibrant mango industry. History gives striking examples of takeoff into sustained growth with little education and not much infrastructure either. --Edmund Phelps, Columbia University, Nobel Laureate in Economics An instructive look at how countries have to start growing before the right institutional framework is in place, and how they can get around that. . . . One of the better books on developing economies in the last few years.---Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution, In their terrific new book, Beating the Odds: Jump-Starting Developing Countries, Justin Yifu Lin and Celestin Monga give the best overview account I've read of how countries might begin to achieve the lift-off from poverty trajectory, and an outline of how in practical terms governments might go about it.
