Barriers to growth & development
Why is economic development uneven?
Conceptual understandings
Perceptions of the meanings of development and equity change over time and vary across cultures.
Governments and other economic agents may intervene in an attempt to promote economic well- being and equity in societies.
The pursuit of sustainability is subject to various constraints.
Effective strategies should take account of the relevant social, economic, and political context.
