This book delves into the pathways that developing countries can embark upon to regain their capacity for proactive action and long-term improvement in the well-being of their populations. While dominant economic theories posit that markets are the primary drivers of growth and poverty reduction in these nations, the reality has been somewhat disappointing. Conversely, poor countries, which are heavily influenced by the dynamics of global capitalism, face limited opportunities to pursue alternative development strategies. Policy initiatives aimed at achieving fairer income distribution or increasing public investment risk facing backlash from financial markets and capital flight.

To address these challenges, the book offers comprehensive solutions, drawing upon key economic foundations and outlining feasible development strategies. It serves as a vital resource for policy-makers, practitioners, scholars, and students of economics, with a deep interest in understanding development economics, economic growth, and financial economics. By exploring these pathways, the book provides valuable insights and actionable recommendations for building more equitable and sustainable societies.
