The World Bank has a new review - available on the web - on the growth experiences of the 1990s: Economic Growth in the 1990s: Learning from a Decade of Reform .
The World Bank's Poverty Reduction and Economic Management (PREM) Network has prepared a study on development lessons of the 1990s. The report reviews the growth impact of the main policy and institutional reforms introduced in the 1990s, presents a broad perspective on the events, country experiences, academic research and controversies of the decade, and reflects on how they alter our thinking about economic growth. Economic Growth in the 1990s: Learning from a Decade of Reform can be purchased from our online bookstore.
The report complements a series of lectures by leading development practitioners such as Larry Summers, President of Harvard University and Former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Former President and Former Minister of Finance of Brazil, discussed their experience as policy makers at the forefront of policy implementation in the 1990s.
I learned about this from New Economist: Rodrik on the 'augmented' Washington consensus. The New Economist post points to a review by Dani Rodrik, and is worth a look.
