Good book on good government in Brazil,
By
This review is from: Good Government in the Tropics (The Johns Hopkins Studies in Development) (Paperback)
This is a great study of how government can be a positive force in develoment. When much of development discourse is based on serving the poor without the involvement of government, this case study of Ceara region in Brazil shows how "good government" can improve the lives of their people. In the case of preventative health, it was amazing how the central government established a programs that gave local citizens jobs and training and a system in which rent-seeking behavior could be reduced. Everyone in the community had more of an investment in their communities and workers were proud of their work. Overall, it's a good book, especially as it provides an example in which not all governments in developing countries are corrupt.
