Well-known as a pioneer of economic development, Albert O.
Hirschman has been the flag-bearer of possibilism and
reform-mongering in political science. How Reforms Should Be Passed
is an anthology of texts chosen personally by Hirschman on the
latter production line-as he was to call it informally-that is
rooted in his long and quasi-exclusive concern for development and
Latin America. Key essays on the formation and the evolution of
Hirschman's point of view on the subject are collected: from
"Ideologies of Economic Development in Latin America" to Journeys
(and later "A Return Journey") on policy-making; from "Obstacles to
the Perception of Change" to "The Search for Paradigms as a
Hindrance to Understanding." They show an extraordinary turn of the
mind in the making that will be very useful for the United States
and the developed world as well-as the final texts of the book on
democracy and Europe (Italy, Germany and France) bear out. This
book represents a unique opportunity for becoming familiar with
many original and perceptive lenses provided by Hirschman to look
at the world we live in, and especially to favor social
change-focusing (first of all) on the cultural and political side
of the matter.
