An interesting explanation with many examples

Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten 🇺🇸 op 5 november 2022

Gambling on Development has been one of the best books I've read this year. Even though it mainly focuses on the personal experience of the author while working with many of the governments of the countries he references, I found interesting his explanation of why some of them improve while others do not. I think it is a good complement to institutional explanations on development, particularly the one espoused by North, Wallis and Weingast (2009) about 'limited-access orders'.

Great book

Fantastic book. Beautifully written and easy to consume despite the complex subject matter. Highly recommend. A book that comes from the heart (also mind I suppose) from one of the most distinguished development economists of our time.

The most important book about international development in decades.

If you want to understand what truly drives development this is the book for you. It's written in an accessible, fun, way and is packed with anecdotes, stories and data but make no mistake: it is a serious piece of work. Dercon lays out his thesis of why some places develop while others languish, and how trajectories change. He also has something to say about what outsiders can do, and the pretty severe limits to this.

It could only have been written by him. He combines real pedigree as an academic economist, a Professor at the University of Oxford and the Director of the Centre for the Study of African Economies, with more than a decade as the most senior technocrat in one of the largest aid agencies in the world. He knows better than most both what progress has been made and the relatively humble role played by aid and donors.

A must read.

Chatty style.

Annoying self-centered writing. Few hard numbers. A very disappointing book
