It examines three thematic pillars: the limits of conventional macroeconomics; the long-run agenda of structural transformation and the development of capabilities; and inequality and its macroeconomic consequences. It offers a valuable new resource to economists, policy-makers and all those interested in inclusive economic development.Advances in Labour StudiesStructural adjustment (Economic policy)Developing countriesEconomic stabilizationDeveloping countriesDeveloping countriesEconomic policyStructural adjustment (Economic policy)Economic stabilization339.509172/4Islam Iyanatul1953-631765Kucera David1960-926983MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787621903321Beyond macroeconomic stability3703113UNINA
