ABSTRACT
In our final travel back in time, we revisit the Washington Consensus over halfway through the first decade of the twenty-first century, to capture the rapidly changing world of post–September 11. Our previous time travel, at the turn of the century, revealed significant cracks in the elite backing of the Consensus. A full-fledged debate on several key Consensus points had emerged, and we hoped that the years that followed would find growing elite admission of the bankruptcy of neoliberalism writ large—and a return to the key questions of “What is development?” and “Development for whom?”
