Turkish-born economist Dani Rodrick is a faculty member at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. He focuses on international political economy and has written a number of books and articles on "what constitutes good economic policy and why some governments are better than others in adopting it." His newest book is entitled One Economics, Many Recipes: Globalization, Institutions and Economic Growth which will soon be published by Princeton University Press. The publisher describes the book:
Poor countries become rich not by
following in suit of their predecessors but rather by overcoming their own
highly specific constraints.
While economic globalization can be a boon for countries that are trying
to dig themselves out of poverty, success usually requires following
policies that are tailored to local economic and political realities rather
than obeying the dictates of the international globalization establishment.
One Economics, Many Recipes shows how successful countries craft
their own unique growth strategies and what other countries can learn from
them.
Professor Rodrik is now blogging and you can read what he thinks about economic developments around the world.
