👍 Worth It
Backed by Oxford University Press and a UN-affiliated research collaboration, this volume digs into real cross-country case evidence from places like Ethiopia, India, and Vietnam rather than staying abstract. It's a rigorous, well-sourced academic contribution, just a narrow one — development economists and policy researchers are the real audience.
