A clear and pragmatic primer on the ideological underpinning of a major - and often dominant - strand of economic thought. Both the conceptual analysis and the country-level applications will help students and policy-makers plot their way through the many challenges which lie in wait. -- Simon Maxwell CBE, Former President, Development Studies Association of the UK and Ireland Much has been written about the experience of neoliberal economic policies in developing countries, including previous work by contributors to this volume, but this is a valuable addition. This book provides a 'one stop shop' overview and reflection covering the concepts, application and experiences that will be useful to researchers and students of development studies. -- Oliver Morrissey, Professor of Development Economics, University of Nottingham, UK This book brings together an impressive group of experts to make a clear and focussed point, that the market-oriented approach to development policy is dysfunctional and ineffective. It should appeal to the informed citizen as well as serve as a basic reference work. -- John Weeks, Professor Emeritus, SOAS University of London and Progressive Economy Forum
