About the product

A major point that emerges from this report is that development strategies must reassert human values, human priorities and human agency. The invisible hand of the market may be able to keep the global economy turning but it takes the human hand to guide it in the most productive direction. This publication explores the recent efforts to reassert the value of equity and social cohesion in an increasingly individualistic world. The issues discussed include: globalization with a human mask, financing social development, fragile democracies, a new mission for the public sector, civil societies, and getting development right for women.
