* Fundamental assessment of (the lack of) progress towards genuine social development - increases in equity, participation and empowerment * Penetrating critique of over-reliance on the "invisible hand" of unregulated markets to achieve it * Comprehensive review of policies, strategies and institutional reforms The World Summit for Social Development in 1995 laid out an ambitious agenda to create an economic, political, social, cultural and legal environment for social development. "Visible Hands" provides a comprehensive and incisive analysis of the progress to date, exploring efforts to reassert the value of equity and social cohesion in an increasingly individualistic world. It reveals the failings of unregulated markets and the importance of a well-run public sector, as well as a healthy, educated and well-informed public. It shows how the "visible hands" of public participation and democratic governance are crucial in creating a decent society.
