Paul Collier on Development, Growth and What Governments Get Wrong

Sir Paul Collier joins Cristian Iftodii (Oxford Policy Pod) and Richard Heydarian at the Blavatnik School of Government in Oxford for a conversation on the new economics of development.

We talk about why the poorest countries have not caught up in the way economists once expected, what has changed in how we think about growth, the role of firms and of the state, and what Collier would tell a government that wants to get its country moving.

Paul Collier is Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, and was previously Director of the Development Research Group at the World Bank. His books include The Bottom Billion, The Future of Capitalism and Left Behind.

Recorded in partnership with Deep Dive.
