Reviews

This book is a thoughtful contribution to the debate on the relationship between state and market. When economic orthodoxy has got it so spectacularly wrong, with such painful social consequences, we need fresh ideas. This book explores some new ideas on the role of the developmental state that is timely in the new global policy environment. - Ebrahim Patel, Minister of Economic Development, South Africa An excellent volume that offers a compelling overview of how, beyond neo-liberalism, the developmental state can be made the centrepiece of a global strategy for achieving a balanced and sustainable socio-economic transformation. - Adebayo Olukoshi, Director, United Nations African Institute for Economic Development and Planning These pioneering contributions should be required reading for those seriously interested in understanding the conditions for creating developmental state success, including political, social and economic reforms. - Jomo Kwame Sundaram, United Nations Assistant Secretary General for Economic Development There is no equivalent book yet that brings the developmental state idea in line with South African needs and possibilities. - Bill Freund, Emeritus Professor of Economic History, University of KwaZulu-Natal
