The book shows how successful countries craft their own strategies for globalization and economic growth. Part One focuses on economic growth: why have some countries grown more rapidly than others, and what we can learn from this experience as we design growth strategies going forward? Part Two focuses on institutions specifically, including themes such as productive vitality, and full gamut of market-supporting institutions. Part Three is devoted to globalization, identifying the central dilemma of the world economy as the tension between the global nature of many of today’s markets in goods, capital, and services, and the national nature of almost all of the institutions that underpin and support them.
