| adam_text | Since the end of World War II, economists have tried to figure out how poor countries
in the tropics could attain standards of living approaching those of countries in Europe
and North America. A myriad of remedies has not delivered the solutions promised.
The problem is not the failure of economics, William Easterly argues, but the failure to
apply economic principles to practical policy work.
In this book Easterly shows how these solutions all violate the basic principle of eco¬
nomics, that people
donors
Easterly s book combines modern growth theory with anecdotes from his fieldwork for
the World Bank.
William Easterly is Senior Fellow at the Center for Global Development and the Institute
for International Economics in Washington, D.C. In January
Economics Department at New York University.
The Elusive Quest for Growth is a terrific book. Those who read it will put it down chas¬
tened, instructed and entertained.
It is impossible to convey the depth and range of The Elusive Quest for Growth. Not
only does it offer a persuasive argument but it summarizes, readably, a vast amount of
research, making it come to life with real-world examples
Journal
This is a brilliant, original work. It is simply the best book I know of on economic
development. Easterly writes with clarity, honesty, and humor. And he is courageous in
his analysis of what went wrong with the development policies followed by the World
Bank.
Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Northwestern University
Every college student who protests against free trade... should read this extraordinary
book. Easterly presents both the power of simple economic models of the development
process and the painfully disappointing track record of official development assistance.
He writes beautifully and cares deeply about his subject.
School of Business, Stanford University
William Easterly knows his way not only around economics but also around the devel¬
oping world. He has written a hard-nosed book about the hardest problem of all: how
to get the poorest countries on a path of sustained growth.
—
of Technology, and Nobel Laureate in Economics
[Easterly] wears the good-humored but weary resignation of a lifetime idealist
mugged at last by reality.
