Washington, DC : Institute for International Economies . Williamson has expressed concern regarding the widespread misinterpretation of his 1989 synthesis the 'Washington consensus'. He notes that it 'has come to be used to describe an extreme and dogmatic commitment to the belief that markets can handle everything' (Williamson, 'What should the World Bank think'). In fact, Williamson's synthesis importantly described a modification away from this outlook, noting that the state had a legitimate role to play, for example in government investment in health, education and infrastructure. However, the Washington consensus envisaged a considerably more restricted role for the state than in other contending development models of the period
