Sommario/riassunto

Why have only 13 developing world economies achieved sustained, high growth since World War II?  Why is engagement with the global economy necessary to achieve high growth?  Why do some countries' growth strategies fail to win the public's confidence?  Why are equity and equality of opportunity important components of successful growth strategies?  Why do many countries, blessed with natural resource wealth, not achieve high growth?  Why has no country ever sustained rapid growth without high rates of public investment?  Why does it not always pay to devalue the exchange rate?
