【abstract】

the washington consensus view of economic development has tended to assume that free markets alone will drive an optimal path of innovation and structural change, with the appropriate state role limited to the provision of physical and social infrastructure – in areas such as transport, health and education, and basic scientific research. but economic history suggests limits to this model for both developing and developed countries, and recent dramatic and important developments in green technology illustrate the potentially important role of state support in driving technological innovation and cost reduction. adair turner will explore these themes with particular reference to energy and climate change -related issues, and will suggest key questions arising for hina's development policy within the context of its "made in china 2025" initiative.
