Summary
This volume presents a broad sweep of modern economic history underpinning aid, trade, development and globalization in the last half century and the salient challenges facing the global community today. The author draws on his long years as an academic and development practitioner to recommend what needs to be done to cope with the backsliding of the fight against global poverty, fractured geopolitics and the threats to the multilateral economic order. The new, revised edition analyses how unilateralism, rising protectionism and the Covid-19 pandemic seriously threaten global sustainable development. It concludes with recommendations on the policy changes needed to make globalization more equitable and development more sustainable. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of economic development and economic history, as well as all those concerned about global inequality and sustainability. Constantine Michalopoulos has worked on and written about economic development for more than half a century. He held senior positions at the World Bank, taught at several US universities, and served as Chief Economist of USAID and as advisor to governments and international organizations including the IMF, WTO, UNCTAD, GTZ and the UK DFID.
