| Abstract: | As capitalism defeated socialism in Eastern Europe, the market displaced the state in the developing world. Beyond the Miracle of the Market focuses on Kenya, a country that continued to grow while others declined in Africa, and mounts a prescient critique of the neo-classical turn in development economics. |
