| Summary: | ""The State of the Economy, the State of the World," is an idiosyncratic stocktaking of the trajectory of economics from Adam Smith to contemporary times, with special attention to the rise of development economics.

This is done keeping in mind the nature of knowledge engagement the World Bank Group is expected to have with the world." |
