ADB Distinguished Speakers Program: Dani Rodrik

The disappointments of the Washington Consensus have led to the search for a new paradigm to replace it. The chief failing of the Washington Consensus was that it represented an approach based on “rules of thumb. ” As such it was not well grounded either in economic theory or in the reality of actual countries. In this presentation, Professor Dani Rodrik discussed several strands of new thinking that have appeared following the demise of the Washington Consensus, and argued in favor of an explicitly diagnostic approach.
