The Elusive Quest for Growth: Economists' Adventures and Misadventures in the Tropics - Book by William Easterly

Name: The Elusive Quest for Growth: Economists' Adventures and Misadventures in the Tropics
Author: William Easterly

William Easterly’s The Elusive Quest for Growth critiques the failed development policies aimed at boosting economic growth in the global South. Drawing from his experiences as an economist, Easterly examines the shortcomings of top-down aid strategies and the often misguided assumptions about how to achieve growth. He argues that the central issue lies in the lack of accountability and the oversimplification of complex social and economic conditions. Through a series of historical examples, the book explores how economic interventions have often failed and calls for a more localized, people-centered approach to development.
