O Consenso de Washington, homenageado em carne e osso...

Ou melhor dito: em cérebro e sentimentos, hearts and minds.
John Williamson certamente merece a homenagem e os muitos, talvez aqui mesmo, que julgam o CW uma coisa de direita, conservadora, ou, vá lá o chavão idiota, "neoliberal", fariam bem em ler algumas das apresentações feitas no lançamento deste livro em homenagem a um economista comprometido com o desenvolvimento, a boa gestão pública e o sentido de responsabilidade de um Estado bem governado.

The Festschrift reflects upon and celebrates these contributions.
