Development Ideas (www.developmentideas.info) presented a panel of authors from the book—International Development: Ideas, Experience, and Prospects—at the International Economics Association Congress in Jordan, June 7, 2014.

Shahid Yusuf is author of the chapter "Growth Economics." Visit the website to read more: http://www.developmentideas.info/chapter/growth-economics/

The panel traced the history of how thinking on economics has evolved over the past sixty years. Since the Second World War, the problems facing poor countries, and the solutions proposed to address them, have changed in response to new waves of thinking, competing schools of thoughts, and the mixed results of applying these ideas to real-life experience. Specifically, this panel presents a brief comparative history of thinking on trade, foreign aid, growth, social protection, and inclusion, and the prospects going forward for each of these as a means of ‘achieving’ development.
