*Getting Better*

The author is Charles Kenny and the subtitle is Why Global Development is Succeeding -- and How We Can Improve the World Even More.

This is an excellent book on catch-up growth, which is proving remarkably robust.  Ongoing democratization is proving more stable in countries such as Turkey and Brazil than many people, including myself, had expected.  Here are previous MR mentions of Charles Kenny.  Here is Kenny's now dormant blog.
