In their drive for wealth, too many developing economies remain wedded to an approach out of the last century: policies focused heavily on attracting investment. There is a better way--and it's quicker, kinder, and cleaner.

New York law governs a large share of the external sovereign-debt contracts of #developing #economies . Section 230 of the state’s Sovereign Stability Act holds enormous promise, but it must be precisely drawn. Lee Buchheit and I outline a way forward.
