"This essay by Shahid Yusuf - published to commemorate the World Bank's annual World Development Report's 30th anniversary - discusses the genesis of the publication and the topics covered by successive reports. Along the way, Yusuf takes the reader on a tour of development economics over a 30-year period, using the reports as a point of departure. Five distinguished economists and development practitioners comment on the content of the essay, each offering a unique and valuable perspective and informed views, and providing grist for fruitful debate on the World Development Report and, more broadly, on the economics of development."--BOOK JACKET.
