Description
How can we fix finance so that it is socially useful and helps to transform developing economies? How did the financial crisis affect developing nations and how can they ensure economic growth without sanctioning debt?
At ODI, the Supporting Economic Transformation (SET) and the DFID-ESRC Growth Research Programme (DEGRP) programmes are working on issues such as how the financial sector can be managed so that it contributes to inclusive economic transformation.
The book will be available for sale and Lord Turner will be signing copies after the event.
