520			_aThis report brings together the views of a Commission of 19 leaders, mostly from developing countries, and 2 academics, Bob Solow and me. The lead ers carry with them decades of accumulated experience in the challenging work of making policies that influence millions of people's lives: their job prospects, their health, their education, their access to basic amenities, such as water, public transportation, and light in their homes; the quality of their day-to-day lives; as well as the lives and opportunities enjoyed by their children. They have wrestled with the complexity of all the basic ingredients of growth strategies: budget allocations, taxes, exchange rates, trade and industrial policies, regulations, privatizations, and monetary policies, to name just a few. Sometimes these choices seem remote from people's day to-day lives. But they have a tremendous impact. It has been an honor for me to serve with them and also a breathtak ing, high-speed learning process. I hope we are successful in sharing their insights, and those of a dedicated development and policy community of academics and practitioners, through this report and prominently through the papers, workshops, and case studies that go along with it.
