Dispensing Macroeconomic Policy Advice to Developing Countries: The IMF's Article IV Consultations; Iyanatul Islam, Ishraq Ahmed, Rathin Roy and Raquel Ramos -- 3. Fiscal Consolidation: Issues and evidence; Anis Chowdury and Iyanatul Islam -- 4.

Creating Productive Capacities, Employment and Capabilities for Development: The Case of Infrastructure Investment; Irmgard Nubler and Christoph Ernst -- 7. Investing in People: Extending Social Security through National Social Protection Floors; Christina Behrendt -- PART III: INEQUALITY, WAGES AND THEIR MACROECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES--8.

Inequality and the Post-2007 Crisis; David Kucera, Rossana Galli and Fares Al-Hussami.

This volume rests on three thematic pillars: the limits of conventional macroeconomics; the long-run agenda of structural transformation and the development of capabilities. Islam and Kucera highlight the tenuous links of conventional macroeconomics with core development concerns. The chapters of this book enunciate an empirical approach to track the various sources of structural transformation and nurture the thesis that investment in infrastructure leads to the inculcation of capabilities, broadly defined to include knowledge accumulation, dissemination and application.The editors reinterpret social protection from the perspective of inclusive development and structural transformation. The volume examines secular trends in the functional distribution of income and explores their possible macroeconomic consequences by developing a two-country macroeconomic model for open economies. It seeks to establish whether growing inequality in many countries combined with stagnant real incomes is one of the sources of the global and financial crisis of 2007-2009.
