Reviews for In Search of Prosperity: Analytic Narratives on Economic Growth
"Any book written or edited by Dani Rodrik is likely to be interesting and thought-provoking, and often iconoclastic. This volume is no exception... [I]t is a good volume of case studies, and may serve the added benefit of making US-based development economists attach more value to country studies of the determinants of growth."
