This book brings together fourteen articles and papers written by
Albert O. Hirschman. About half deal with the interaction of
economic development with politics and ideology, the area in which
Hirschman perhaps has made most noted contributions. Among these
papers are 'The Rise and Declines of Development Economics', a
magisterial and yet pointed essay in intellectual history and his
famous article 'The Changing Tolerance for Income Inequality in the
Course of Economic Development'. Hirschman's ability to trespass -
or rather his inability not to trespass - from one social science
to another and beyond is the unifying characteristic of the volume.
Authoritative, searching surveys alternate here with essays
presenting some of Hirschman's characteristic inventions, for
instance the 'tunnel effect' and 'obituary-improving activities'.
Three of the papers have not been published previously and a number
of introductory notes have been especially drafted for the present
volume to evoke the intellectual-political climate in which certain
groups of essays were written.
