Economies which are flexible flourish, as in Eastern Asia. Inflexible economies stagnate, as in Eastern Europe and Africa. However even though adaptability governs the long-term progress of economies, economists have had little to say about the nature and determinants of economic flexibility. This book redresses that situation. A prestigious team of contributors address the key theoretical and empirical issues, using a wide range of country studies.Economic developmentEconomic historyStructural adjustment (Economic policy)Economic developmentCase studies1990-Structural adjustment (Economic policy)Case studiesEconomic historyBusiness & EconomicsHILCCEconomic TheoryHILCCEconomic development.Economic history.Structural adjustment (Economic policy).Economic developmentCase studiesStructural adjustment (Economic policy)Case studiesEconomic historyBusiness & EconomicsEconomic Theory330.9338.9Killick Tony122852Killick TonyAU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910784891503321The Flexible Economy3688806UNINA
