Incomes Policies in the Wider Context - Wage, Price and Fiscal Initiatives in Developing Countries (Paperback)

This book looks at how developing countries have had increasing difficulties, especially since the 1970s, in coping with inflation, in balancing efficiency and equity in wage policies, and in achieving economic growth and income distribution through appropriate taxation and expenditure programmes. How well are such policies conceived and co-ordinated within a clear-cut incomes policy based on reliable information and social consensus? The book examines wage, price and fiscal policies and their social and economic effects.
