Contributing authors include professors of economics from Asia, Latin America, North America, Africa and Europe, former ministers and central bankers, and high-level officials of the World Bank, WTO, IMF and United Nations.

The full title is An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, but the words preceding the shorthand title are not usually mentioned. This is a pity because they nicely reflect the scientific rigour, curiosity and broad view of Adam Smith’s writings – a rigour, curiosity and broadness of view I often miss in today’s economic analyses of poverty. Why do economists tend to inquire so little into “the nature and causes of poverty”? I will try to answer this question by looking, first, at the politics of poverty, second, at the economics of poverty, third, at the recent history of poverty, and fourth, at the likely future state of poverty. Obviously, I cannot claim any originality of thinking in a bird’s eye view of these important issues. And when I base my thoughts on experiences I have gained as a young student participating in agrarian reform processes or as a research-oriented journalis...

These constraints include the underdevelopment of domestic capital markets, the lack of national and regional infrastructures, and the ongoing dependence on the export of commodities whose prices and markets are volatile and remain largely determined by the large companies of western countries.

Let me say a few words about the two developing regions that are considered less important in resolving global imbalances, Latin America and Africa. Latin America, discussed briefly by Barry Eichengreen and Yung Chul Park, and more extensively by Barbara Stallings, comes out in this volume as a region that can contribute little to solving the problem but will suffer greatly from a dramatic unwinding of the US deficit. Africa is not discussed in this volume, but will be dealt with in the second volume that emerges from a conference held in The Hague on February 27-28, 2006. I want to highlight policy recommendations made by the various authors for each of the three regions and add ...
