Abstract
The early Postwar Development Consensus (PWDC) was based on a few theoretical contributions (like Rosenstein-Rodan, 1943 on the “Big Push”)1 and mostly on “big ideas,” like the government being the driving force behind development and the importance of capital accumulation. This was stressed by authors such as Nurkse (1952) and Lindauer and Pritchett (2002).
