• Sommario/riassunto: This thought-provoking volume goes beyond the narrow conceptualization of macroeconomic stability in the conventional framework and explores the link between structural transformation and inclusive development. 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.
