Rowman & Littlefield of Lexington Books has published a new book by Professor Grzegorz W. Kolodko. The monograph (XII + 253 pages), called „The Quest for Development Success: Bridging Theoretical Reasoning with Economic Practice”, is announced by the publisher in the following words: “Humanity faces epoch-making challenges arising from the convergence of demographic, social, economic, ecological and political megatrends, which are additionally superimposed by the fatal COVID-19 pandemic and the new Cold War. Traditional economic thought is not able to cope with them. In the conditions of irreversible globalization, these challenges are met by the original concept of a new pragmatism – a peculiar interface between economic theory and practical economic policy for sustainable development.”
