Opinion leaders in government and business routinely tout the Internet's power as a force for economic and social development, and programs designed to bridge the digital divide are springing up across the developing world. Many questions remain, however, about the effectiveness of such programs in fostering greater productivity and improving quality of life. Overselling the Web? offers a much needed antidote to the Internet hype touting the promise of new technologies. Drawing on macroeconomic data as well as eye-opening anecdotes, Charles Kenny underscores the trade-offs and constraints inherent in the new communications technology. His work raises serious questions about the advisability of channeling scarce investment funds into the Internet when countries are confronting more basic challenges in the realm of education, health, and infrastructure.
