Economic Theory and Policy Economic Growth and Productivity Economic and Social Development

Abstract

The 'pioneers in development' are those whose articles, reports, and books came to dominate thinking about economic development in the late 1940s and 1950s. They shaped the subject by introducing concepts, deducing principles, and modeling the process of development. The 'pioneers' included in this book include: Lord Bauer, Colin Clark, Albert O. Hirschman, Sir Arthur Lewis, Gunnar Myrdal, Raul Prebisch, Paul N. Rosenstein-Rodan, Walt Whitman Rostow, H.W. Singer, and Jan Tinbergen. They have each contributed a chapter in which they have reassessed the main themes of their early work and reconsidered their assumptions, concepts, and policy prescriptions in relation to the way the course of development has preceded since their pioneering days. Each chapter also contains comments by contemporary development economists. Taken as a set, these chapters offer an opportunity for a retrospective view of what has happened to development economics with implications for assessing the present and looking to the future.
