Institutional Change and Economic Development

The issue of institutional development has come to prominence during the last decade or so. During this period, even the IMF and the World Bank, which used to treat institutions as mere 'details', have come to emphasize the role of institutions in economic development. However, there are still some important knowledge gaps that need to be filled before we can say that we have a good grip on the issue of institutions and economic development, both theoretically and at the policy level. This book is an attempt to fill these gaps.Chang, Ha-Joon is the author of 'Institutional Change and Economic Development', published 2008 under ISBN 9789280811438 and ISBN 9280811436.
