Overview
We are currently experiencing a revival of interest in development, partly as a consequence of recent work in the so called "new growth theory" arena, and partly because the recent debt crisis focuses attention on the adjustment problems of the third world and on the policy lessons to be learned from the East Asian experience. This volume traces the evolution of relevant development theory from the Physiocrats and the Classical School, to Solow, Arthur Lewis and, finally, Lucas and Roemer. The central purpose is to borrow and on occasion adapt the various tool kits offered to improve our current understanding of the development process which we see, in Simon Kuznets' terminology, as a transition from agrarianism to modern economic growth. Although the book has a strong analytical orientation, it is also sensitive to historical time and typological differences across developing societies.l
