| description |
Development is about fundamental change
in economic structures, about the movement of resources out
of agriculture to services and industry, about migration to
cities and international movement of labor, and about
transformation in trade and technology. Social inclusion and
change-change in health and life expectancy, in education
and literacy, in population size and structure, and in
gender relations-are at the heart of the story. The policy
challenge is to help release and guide these forces of
change and inclusion. But how can policymakers assess
whether what they have done, or what they are doing, is
right? Since the 1970s public economics has placed the
serious analysis of growth at the center of its agenda. It
has shown how to integrate growth and distribution - in
simple terms, the size of the cake, and the distribution of
the cake-rigorously into the discussion of public policy,
both theoretically and empirically. |
