With style and imagination, this iconoclastic work covers the major issues in development economics. In eight carefully reasoned essays, P. T.

'The ideas examined in this volume include the notion (or hypothesis) of the vicious circle of poverty and stagnation in less developed countries; the allegation that the rich countries have caused the poverty of the less developed world; the assertions that any substantial progress of poor countries must result in balance-of-payments difficulties, that their terms of trade decline persistently, that economic development depends largely on monetary investment, and that central planning and foreign aid are indispensable for the development of poor countries.
