Just Get Out of the Way

A trenchant discussion of the usefulness of government (or lack thereof) in creating sustainable economic growth. Solid, well-written, practical and entertaining.

Accessibly written by Robert E. Anderson (an economic development expert who has 10 years of experience with the World Bank working on development issues in more than 15 countries), Just Get Out Of The Way: How Government Can Help Business In Poor Countries is a "tell it like it is" account that warns against helping developing countries by pursuing policies that are used in rich countries.

I think that this is a great book because I wrote it. If you want more information about the book, see my website at privatesectordev.
