John - Take a look at-- "Three Pillars of Conventional Wisdom" by Rod
Cross and Douglas Strachan, Review of Political Economy, Vol. 13, No. 2,
April, 2001.  "This paper considers three pillars of contemporary
economic wisdom that form part of the so-called Washington Consensus."
(from the abstract).  The three pillars are: free markets work best,
price stability is a good thing, and deregulated financial markets work
best.  They argue that none of these have general validity, though they
may hold under certain circumstances.

Dear PKs,

I would be grateful if you could provide me with some references with
regard to:

1. A PK critique of the Washington Consensus.
2. The link between civic society and tax-paying norms as developed by
Davidson and Davidson, 1996 in p. 91-2.

Thank you.
