Economic structuralists conduct a system-wide analysis of a given economy, including its social context, which can be particularly valuable in determining why poor countries consistently fail to grow. This textbook studies, from a structuralist perspective, the reasons why a host of developing countries have failed to grow steadily at 2 percent or more since the 1960s. Sensitive to the wide range of factors that affect an economy's strength and stability, this volume identifies the policy problems that have long frustrated the countries of South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and others, while suggesting new initiatives for change.
