A propos de cet article

Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, as new condition (in as new dustjacket), minimal edgewear. 192p pp. The idea that people are basically driven by individualism and economic incentives, and that prosperity and good societies come from top-down leadership, has dominated politics for the last thirty or more years. Paul Collier and John Kay show that the age of economic incentives and centralisation is coming to an end.
