First sentence: We noted in our preface that since the publication of the first two volumes of the Handbook of Development Economics, the paradigm of development that was dominant for a long time after the Second World War and which emphasized a state-directed, inward-oriented, import-substituting industrialization as the appropriate strategy of development was finally dethroned with many countries undertaking reforms aimed at liberalizing their economies from the shackles of state control.
