Reseña del libro "Sixty Years of Independence: Achievements, Challenges and the Road Ahead for Trinidad and Tobago (en Inglés)"
All countries aim to achieve highrates of economic growth; many strive to improve living standards and qualityof life for their people. However, in a world where events and circumstancesoften influence a country and its economy, these factors are not always fullywithin the control of those responsible for leadership and development. SixtyYears of Independence examines Trinidad and Tobago'sprogress since independence in 1962, against such strivings and challenges, with the aim of identifying both genuine achievements and persistent flaws orgaps. The contributors to this volume share common assumptions that it isessential to broaden and deepen democracy; that it is desirable to achieveshared prosperity through higher levels of productivity and more meaningfullevels of economic development; and that the drivers of economic progress, aswell as the active build out of social infrastructure to support humandevelopment, are both essential for genuine and sustainable developmentalprogress. These reflections on Trinidad andTobago's sixty-year journey as an independent, sovereign nation are well worthreading not only for the information they provide, nor solely for thehistorical context they offer across various sectors, or even for the fact thatthe contributors are individuals who have both shaped and reflected on nationaldevelopment. This book is worth reading because each chapter presentsthoughtful, substantive insights that encourage readers to examine their ownperspectives on development, whether they live, and to consider how progressmight be pursued more effectively and meaningfully. For policymakers inparticular, this volume offers both inspiration and practical guidance on theway forward.
