Noting that the globalization of the economy has become an irreversible, universally dominant trend, the author argues that the countries that will meet with the greatest success at the century's end will not be unleashed market economies but rather what he terms "active and learning societies" that attempt to solve their problems on the basis of an organizational and governance-related pluralism.

"The essential role institutions play in understanding economic development has long been recognised and has been closely studied across the social sciences but some of the most high profile work has been done by economists many of whom are included in this collection covering a wide range of topics including the relationship between institutions and growth, educational systems, the role of the media and the intersection between traditional systems of patronage and political institutions. Each chapter covers the frontier research in its area and points to new areas of research and is the product of extensive workshopping and editing. The editors have also written an excellent introduction which brings together the key themes of the handbook. The list of contributors is stellar (Steven Durlauf, Throsten Beck, Bob Allen,and includes a diverse mix of Western and non Western, male and female scholars)"
