What Works in Development? brings together leading experts to address one of the most basic yet vexing issues in development: what do we really know about what works-and what doesn't-in fighting global poverty? The contributors, including many of the world's most respected economic development analysts, focus on the ongoing debate over which paths to development truly maximize results.
