Development in the Balance: Equity and Sustainability at Century's End

Vinod Thomas ; World Bank Institute, Washington D. C., USA

Abstract

In many ways the 1990s concentrated the development experiences of the previous 40 years, providing approaches and cautions to guide policy action in the new century. While the experience confirms the essential contribution of market-friendly policies; it also brings out missing aspects. Foremost among them are distribution of human development, the protection of the environment, globalisation and financial regulations, and the quality of governance. The main message is that the quality of growth matters more than its pace.
