Yet this is at odds with Simon Kuznets' hypothesis that economic development tends to put upward pressure on income inequality, at least initially and in the absence of countervailing policies. \u003cem\u003eThe Developer's Dilemma\u003c\/em\u003e explores this 'Kuznetsian tension' between structural transformation and income inequality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book asks: what are the varieties of structural transformation that have been experienced in developing countries? What inequality dynamics are associated with each variety of structural transformation? And what policies have been utilized to manage trade-offs between structural transformation, income inequality, and inclusive growth? Across nine country cases written by academics across the Global South, this book answers these questions using a comparative case study approach with a common analytical framework and a set of common datasets. The intended intellectual contribution of the book is to provide a comparative analysis of the relationship between structural transformation, income inequality, and inclusive growth; to do so empirically at a regional and national level, and to draw conclusions about the varieties of structural transformation, their inequality dynamics, and the policies that have been employed to mediate the developer's dilemma.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46416694968471,"sku":"9780192855299","price":12538.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780192855299.webp?v=1769064379","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-developers-dilemma-structural-transformation-inequality-dynamics-and-inclusive-growth-9780192855299","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
