Frontiers of Development Economics -- The Future in Perspective

With contributions from 35 leading economists, this book (Frontiers of Development Economics) explores the future of development economics against the background of the past half-century of development thought and practice. The volume offers an analysis of the broad range of issues involved in development economics, and a critique of what is needed in development theory and policy to reduce poverty. An overriding issue is whether in the future "development economics" is to be regarded simply as applied economics or whether its nature and scope will constitute a need for a special development theory to supplement general economic theory.
