"The Resources of the Third World" provides a comprehensive survey
of those countries that are considered to belong to the Third World
or "less developed countries," those that the World Bank classifies
as low- or middle-income economies. The book analyzes the
contribution that possession of resources makes to economic
development. Guy Arnold defines "resources" in broad terms--not
only the traditionally analyzed resources of agricultural and
mineral wealth but also the less well studied resources of
infrastructure and, especially, population, and the talents,
education, and training of that population. In Part I, Overview,
Arnold examines these resources and defines the relationship
between the advanced economies of the North and the developing
economies of the South. In Part II, Country Surveys, he provides
individual analysis of some 144 countries of the South in an effort
to define their potential and probable development during the first
few decades of the 21st century.
" The Resources of the Third World" will be an essential text for
any researcher, librarian, or student with an interest in Third
World studies.
