A nation does not have to be developed to achieve economic growth: Witness Israel's cultivation of the Negev Desert and Mali's vibrant mango industry. History gives striking examples of takeoff into sustained growth with little education and not much infrastructure either.\"\u003cb\u003e--Edmund Phelps, Columbia University, Nobel Laureate in Economics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"After the failure of Washington Consensus economic policies, Justin Yifu Lin and Celestin Monga draw on examples of successful economic development from all over the world to show us the way forward.
