The anti-development state

de Walden F. Bello, Walden Bello, Walden Bello, Herbert Docena, Marissa de Guzman, Mary Lou Malig · Publicada por primera vez en 2004

This book examines how the political system of the Phillippines remains dominated by a competitive elite who oppose any significant attempts to address the country's huge social inequalities. The way out, he argues, is through the wholesale overhaul of the system of governance, leading to a new development strategy based on more, not less, state intervention, the domestic market as the driver of growth, and working together with other countries in the South.
