A new book co-edited by Prof. Luc Soete argues that capability building is an active, not a passive, process demanding a clear effort from learners in developing countries. Dedicated to Jorge Katz, a renowned scholar on the economics of innovation and technological change, the book claims that development is a process of creative destruction. In the blog below, co-author Dr. Michiko Iizuka explains these key concepts and the overall thrust of capability building for development.
