Reviews

"...the most balanced survey of the many aspects and the costs and benefits of globalisation from an author superbly qualified by a lifetime's work and experience." Sir Hans Singer, Professorial Fellow, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex "Paul Streeten gives us the cumulated wisdom of a lifetime spent in imaginative thinking about development, set within, but cutting through the hype and pretensions of, the globalisation debate." Ronald Dore, Senior Research Fellow, Center for Economic Performance, London School of Economics and Visiting Professor at INSEAD
