Edited by Erik S. Reinert, Honorary Professor, UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP), University College London and Adjunct Professor of Technology Governance and Development Strategies, TalTech; and Associate Professor Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven, Lecturer, Department of International Development, King's College London.
In contrast to neo-classical mainstream approaches to economics, this innovative Modern Guide addresses the complex reality of economic development as an inherently uneven process, exploring the ways of theorizing and empirically exploring the mechanisms with which the unevenness manifests itself. It covers a wide array of issues influencing wealth and poverty, technological innovation, ecology and sustainability, financialization, population, gender, and geography, considering the dynamics of cumulative causations created by the interplay between these factors.

About the Speakers
Erik Reinert
Honorary Professor at UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP)
![Erik Reinert](https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/public-purpose/sites/bartlett_public_purpose/files/styles/small_image/public/erik-reinert-350x350.jpg?itok=qgUuCZtu)
Reinert’s work has taken him to more than 70 countries; as a teacher, consultant, or in business. Much of his work is dedicated to teaching and researching in the theory and history of uneven development, with particular attention to the History of Economic Policy as an under-researched area. This includes publishing on the Economic Bestsellers before 1850, on the nearly 100 economics books that were published in more than 10 editions by that date. This includes several once famous economists who are today virtually unknown, this creating an alternative lineage to the Physiocracy-Smith-Ricardo lineage. Reinert’s book How Rich Countries got Rich and why Poor Countries Stay Poor has been translated into 20 languages. More about Erik Reinert
