Globalisation, Economic Development and the Role of the State

The book explores the evolving role of the state in the economy, particularly in the context of the past 25 years marked by neoliberal ideologies. It critically examines the arguments for unregulated markets, deregulation, and privatization, highlighting the tensions and controversies surrounding state intervention in economic affairs. Through this analysis, it addresses the implications of these policies on society and the economy, contributing to the ongoing debate about the balance between state control and market freedom.
