Reviews"The most promising (proposal at the Social Sumit) was the '20/20' planconceived by Pakistan's Haq, in which donors would direct 20 percent of theirforeign aid programs to meet basic human needs and receiving countries wouldcommit 20 percent of their budgets to the same goal."--The WashingtonPost, "The most promising (proposal at the Social Sumit) was the '20/20' plan conceived by Pakistan's Haq, in which donors would direct 20 percent of their foreign aid programs to meet basic human needs and receiving countries would commit 20 percent of their budgets to the same goal."--TheWashington Post, "The UNDP team, under a Pakistani economic guru, offers the World Bankers some healthy competition."--The Economist, "Mahbub ul Haq is the closest thing to a visionary that the UN system possesses.

SynopsisThis work explores a new development paradigm whose central focus is on human well-being. Increase in income is treated as an essential means, but not as the end of development, and certainly not as the sum of human life. Development policies and strategies are discussed which link economic growth with human lives in various societies. The book also analyzes the evolution of a new Human Development Index which is a far more comprehensive measure of socio-economic progress of nations than the traditional measure of Gross National Product. For the first time, a Political Freedom Index is also presented. The book offers a new vision of human security for the twenty-first century where real security is equated with security of people in their homes, their jobs, their communities, and their environment. The book discusses many concrete proposals in this context, including a global compact to overcome the worst aspects of global poverty within a decade, key reforms in the Bretton Woods institutions of World Bank and IMF, and establishment of a new Economic Security Council within the United Nations., This book is based on several talks and papers presented by the author in recent years. It is organized in two parts, the first dealing with an emerging development paradigm, and the second with the imperative for a new international dialogue in topics central to human development such as a peace agenda for the Third World.
