DEEPAK LAL
is the James S. Coleman Professor Emeritus of InternationalDevelopment Studies at the University of California at Los Angeles, professor emeritus of political economy at University College London, and a senior fellow at the Cato Institute.
Few development economists combine the academic stature,understanding, policy experience, and hands-on familiarity with thechallenges of economic development that Deepak Lal has. In this insightfulbook, Lal takes on both the myths about development and the policy mistakes of the past half century. He argues cogently that globalization,good governance and liberal economic policies have led to phenomenalsuccess in many countries over that time, and that slowly growingcountries need to rectify their own economic policies.
