‘Overall this volume is extremely interesting, well referenced and an excellent read for students and specialists in the area of economics and politics.’
– Barbara Evers, The Manchester School

‘. . . excellent collection of papers. . . . The book’s well-written chapters offer a refreshing and persuasive account of the complicated interplay between the state and market in the development process. It should be read by anyone interested in development issues today.’
– Social Development Issues

Markets and the state are usually seen as opposed to each other as instruments of economic development. This important new book attempts to go beyond the state–market debate, which it sees as largely the intellectual legacy of neoclassical economics, and the related pendulum swings of opinion favouring one against the other.
