This forces us to ask - how do humans develop? Man is a social  animal and the growth of our humanity requires various social  institutions, such as bureaucracy. The paradox of capitalism is that  it is a system ostensibly based on self-interest yet wholly dependent  on non-market values for its success. These non-market values are  shaped by two much-neglected factors, religion and ethnicity. \u003cbr\u003e  Economic Development is an applied field; whatever it claims as a  conclusion should be an applicable conclusion. This requires attention  to all those non-economic factors which translate economic decisions  into practice - such as the forces of nationalism versus the  pressures of such global powers as US foreign policy and the advice of  the IMF\/IBRD. Since policy is our goal, theory whose intellectual  basis is inaccessible to policy makers or which fails to have  application should be minimized. Mathematical models are best avoided  and, if they are to be used, the burden of proof must be placed upon  their proponents. \u003cbr\u003e  As insights about the market are limited neither by time nor space,  poor countries can learn from rich ones, and vice versa. It is most  fruitful to focus on examples of success, such as the East Asian  economies. They are the clearest illustration of the fact that rapid  economic development is possible even to those who have suffered  through imperialism, and possess few natural resources, but have their  work and their determination intact. `One good example is enough.'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792378464\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4537-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 259\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265718440076,"sku":"9780792378464","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792378464.jpg?v=1770789143","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792378464","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
