This book enlarges our understanding of economic development by
bringing together items or aspects of historical experience
relevant to the present-day problems of developing countries; by
looking at the problems over a longer period than is usual in
development economics, so that the influence of underlying forces
may be made evident; and by comparing the experiences of different
countries in similar situations. A variety of countries are dealt
with and most of the significant problems in development economics
are covered in one context or another. The authors of this
symposium, each an internationally acknowledged authority, offer
expert assessments of development as it has actually taken place.
The chapter by Professor Rosovsky shows what is significant, what
is peculiar and what could be imitated in Japan; Professor Black
takes the little-studied case of Ireland, and Dr Macpherson gives
an informed and balanced account of Indian development. This unique
book was first published in 1972.
