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. 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aStructural adjustment (Economic policy) 606 $aEconomic development$xCase studies$y1990- 606 $aStructural adjustment (Economic policy)$xCase studies 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aBusiness & Economics$2HILCC 606 $aEconomic Theory$2HILCC 615 4$aEconomic development. 615 4$aEconomic history. 615 4$aStructural adjustment (Economic policy). 615 0$aEconomic development$xCase studies 615 0$aStructural adjustment (Economic policy)$xCase studies 615 0$aEconomic history 615 7$aBusiness & Economics 615 7$aEconomic Theory 676 $a330.9 676 $a338.9 700 $aKillick$b Tony$0122852 702 $aKillick$b Tony 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784891503321 996 $aThe Flexible Economy$93688806 997 $aUNINA
