<p><strong>"A clear and pragmatic primer on the ideological underpinning of a major – and often dominant – strand of economic thought. Both the conceptual analysis and the country-level applications will help students and policy-makers plot their way through the many challenges which lie in wait."</strong> -- <i>Simon Maxwell CBE, Former President, Development Studies Association of the UK and Ireland</i></p><p><strong>"Much has been written about the experience of neoliberal economic policies in developing countries, including previous work by contributors to this volume, but this is a valuable addition. This book provides a ‘one stop shop’ overview and reflection covering the concepts, application and experiences that will be useful to researchers and students of development studies." -- </strong><em>Oliver Morrissey, Professor of Development Economics, University of Nottingham, UK</em></p><p><strong>"This book brings together an impressive group of experts to make a clear and focussed point, that the market-oriented approach to development policy is dysfunctional and ineffective. It should appeal to the informed citizen as well as serve as a basic reference work."</strong> -- <em>John Weeks, John Weeks, formerly Professor Emeritus, SOAS University of London and Progressive Economy Forum (John Weeks passed away in late-July 2020)</em></p>
