The Political Dimension of Economic
growth
The state and its institutions are crucial for economic development: for
better and for worse. This insight informs this up-to-date and authoritative
survey of new trends in growth economics and of the widely divergent economic
performance of developing countries. The international team of contributors,
including Vittorio Corbo and Mancur Olson, take up the challenge of pinning down
the decisive role that the political dimension plays in economic growth.

New Economic Foundation - 2006
Growth isn’t working: the uneven distribution of benefits and costs from
economic growth
Growth isn’t working: the uneven distribution of benefits
and costs from economic growth, shows that globalisation is failing the
world’s poorest as their share of the benefits of growth plummet, and
accelerating climate change hurts the poorest most.
The report, the first in nef's series of
'Re-thinking poverty' reports, reveals that the share of benefits from global
economic growth reaching the world’s poorest people is actually shrinking, while
they continue to bear an unfair share of the costs. New figures show that
growth was less effective at passing on benefits to the poorest in the 1990’s
than it was even in the 1980’s- the so-called ‘lost decade for development’ -
and an age of rising climate chaos will worsen their prospects.
The report says that the notion that global economic growth
is the only way of reducing poverty for the world’s poorest people is the
self-serving rhetoric of those who already enjoy the greatest share of world
income. It's authors argue that to achieve real progress we need to change in
the way we think about and discuss economic issues, and break out of the
confines of mainstream economic thinking. We also need a shift in power
relations, both globally and nationally, to move power from developed countries,
elites and commercial interests to the majority of the world’s population, the
poor.

Beyond Economic Growth
Meeting the challenges of global development
What
is development?, How can we
compare levels of development?, What does it
take to make development sustainable?
This book, which draws on data published by the World
Bank, is addressed to students, teachers, and all those
interested in exploring issues of global development. It
encourages learners to seek their own solutions to
development challenges by exploring and discussing a broad
range of critical development issues.
