In the longer term, he argues that Brazil has two paths in front of it. One is to create the conditions necessary to boost economic performance and drive the country toward a high level of development. The other is to fail in untying the political knot that blocks growth, leaving it a middle-income country. The source of his contrasting futures for Brazil is inequality, which he demonstrates is a relevant variable in any discussion of economic growth. Inequality illuminates causes of seemingly-unconnected problems. This book, which includes freely-accessible documents and datasets, is the first in-depth analysis of an issue that promises to become increasingly prominent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eLow Economic Growth and its Proximate Causes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInequality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRedistribution to the Rich\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRedistribution to the Poor\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Middle Class Joins the Game\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRedistribution and Long-Term Growth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Development economics \u0026amp; emerging economies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Development economics \u0026amp; emerging economies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Development%20economics%20\u0026amp;%20emerging%20economies%20%5BKCM%5D%22\"\u003eKCM\u003c\/a\u003e], Macroeconomics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Macroeconomics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Macroeconomics%20%5BKCB%5D%22\"\u003eKCB\u003c\/a\u003e], Poverty  \u0026amp; unemployment [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Poverty  \u0026amp; unemployment\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Poverty%20%20\u0026amp;%20unemployment%20%5BJFFA%5D%22\"\u003eJFFA\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46649575866648,"sku":"9780128019511","price":31.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780128019511.jpg?v=1694101982"},{"product_id":"the-private-sector-s-role-in-poverty-reduction-in-asia-hardback-9780857094483","title":"The Private Sector’s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia (Hardback) 9780857094483","description":"\u003cfont face=\"Georgia\"\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"6\"\u003eThe Private Sector’s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cp\u003eA practical guide for managers and individuals working in the private sector in the least developed areas of Asia to help make a difference to the lives of others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003eScott Hipsher (Author)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e9780857094483, Elsevier Science\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eHardback, published 7 January 2013\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e352 pages\u003cbr\u003e23.3 x 15.6 x 2.5 cm, 0.67 kg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe private sector has an important role in poverty reduction in Asia. The Private Sector’s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia argues that the best way to create sustainable projects is to create win-win situations where both private companies and individuals working their way out of poverty can benefit. The book provides a practical guide for managers and individuals working in the private sector in the least developed areas of Asia to help make a difference to the lives of others. The book’s opening chapter considers the private sector’s role in poverty reduction in Asia and following chapters discuss the variable nature of development, developing economy environments in Asia and business practices and strategies in these economies. A number of Asian economies are considered in turn, including: China; Vietnam; Thailand; Cambodia; Laos PDR; Southeast Asian countries; South Asian countries; Central Asian countries; and the Himalayas. The final chapter looks at creating sustainable win-win situations.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of figures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of abbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Private sector's role in poverty reduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Development: one size does not fit all\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Environmental conditions in Asian developing economies\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Business strategies and practices in developing economies\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Asian success stories\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: China\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Vietnam\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Thailand\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Cambodia\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Laos PDR\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Island Southeast Asia (Indonesia and the Philippines)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: South Asia\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Central Asia: Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Myanmar\/Burma\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Creating sustainable win-win situations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Finance [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Finance\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Finance%20%5BKFF%5D%22\"\u003eKFF\u003c\/a\u003e], Development economics \u0026amp; emerging economies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Development economics \u0026amp; emerging economies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Development%20economics%20\u0026amp;%20emerging%20economies%20%5BKCM%5D%22\"\u003eKCM\u003c\/a\u003e], Economic growth [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Economic growth\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Economic%20growth%20%5BKCG%5D%22\"\u003eKCG\u003c\/a\u003e], Social work [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Social work\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Social%20work%20%5BJKSN%5D%22\"\u003eJKSN\u003c\/a\u003e], Poverty  \u0026amp; unemployment [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Poverty  \u0026amp; unemployment\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Poverty%20%20\u0026amp;%20unemployment%20%5BJFFA%5D%22\"\u003eJFFA\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Chandos Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651627045144,"sku":"9780857094483","price":85.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780857094483_669e443c-f54f-431b-ab0d-a5dc8cc41fa3.jpg?v=1696781709"}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/collections\/poverty-unemployment.oembed","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
