Powerful insights into why inequality and transformation are central to the study and practice of development a fitting tribute to the legacy of Fred Nixson. David Luke, Professor in Practice and Strategic Director, Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK. This book is written as a tribute to Frederick Nixsons extensive work on industrial development in the Global South, while seeking to actively engage with the latest arguments concerning development economics, together with changes in manufacturing and industrial policy that continue to shape the role of the Global South in the international economy, the impact of the increased concentration of global multinational corporations in that space, along with the rise of new financing tools and debt traps. The chapters pay homage to Freds broad view of the international development process and reflect his breadth of perception both theoretically and geographically. The book targets both the scholarly and policymaking audience.
