Bringing in the Future: Strategies for Farsightedness and Sustainability in Developing Countries
William Ascher
Humans are plagued by shortsighted thinking, preferring to put off work on complex, or difficult problems in favor of quick-fix solutions to immediate needs. This book draws on research from psychology, economics, institutional design, and legal theory to suggest strategies to overcome obstacles to long-term planning in developing countries.
