Rowman & Littlefield of Lexington Books has published a new
book by Professor
Grzegorz
W. Kolodko. The monograph (XII + 253 pages), called
„The Quest for Development Success: Bridging
Theoretical Reasoning with Economic Practice”,
is announced by the publisher in the following words: “Humanity faces
epoch-making challenges arising from the convergence of demographic,
social, economic, ecological and political megatrends, which are
additionally superimposed by the fatal COVID-19 pandemic and the new
Cold War. Traditional economic thought is not able to cope with them.
In the conditions of irreversible globalization, these challenges are
met by the original concept of a new pragmatism – a peculiar interface
between economic theory and practical economic policy for sustainable
development.”
