Challenging traditional assumptions about the worlds poorest countries, the top priorities to address are identified as adult literacy, electricity for manufacturing, and the consequence of the relationship between fertility and savings. These suggestions are placed within a historical perspective, placing discussions on modern day Africa and South Asia alongside the development of East Asia, Europe, and the Americas in previous generations and centuries. The Time-Travelling Economist aims to move conversations about development beyond the resource curse or private sector failings, with a fresh focus on the policies that governments can embark on independently and affordably that will transform their future. It will be of interest to anyone interested in the future of the worlds low income countries. 001447836 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001447836 650_0 $$aEconomic development. 001447836 650_0 $$aFunctional literacy$$zDeveloping countries. 001447836 650_0 $$aElectrification$$zDeveloping countries. 001447836 650_0 $$aFertility, Human$$zDeveloping countries. 001447836 650_6 $$aDéveloppement économique.$$0(CaQQLa)201-0017266 001447836 651_0 $$aDeveloping countries$$xEconomic conditions$$y21st century. 001447836 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001447836 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRobertson, Charlie.$$tTime-travelling economist.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2022$$z9783030975968$$w(OCoLC)1308486900 001447836 852__ $$bebk 001447836 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-97597-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001447836 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1447836$$pGLOBAL_SET 001447836 980__ $$aBIB 001447836 980__ $$aEBOOK 001447836 982__ $$aEbook 001447836 983__ $$aOnline 001447836 994__ $$a92$$bISE
