With style and imagination, this iconoclastic work covers the major issues in development economics. In eight carefully reasoned essays, P. T. Bauer challenges most of the accepted notions and supports his views with evidence drawn from a wide range of primary sources and direct experience.
The essays were selected on the basis of their interest to students and general readers from Bauer's book, Dissent on Development: Studies and Debates in Development Economics. Reviewing the previous work, the Wall Street Journal wrote: "It could have a profound impact on our thinking about the entire development question... Quite simply, it is no longer possible to discuss development economics intelligently without coming to grips with the many arguments P. T. Bauer marshalled in this extraordinary work."

Trade Paperback. Condition: GOOD. 320pp. Spine a bit flexed but still sound, thumbed, unmarked. '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.'
