What can we do to unlock the unrealised potential of the hundreds
of millions of rural poor and landless workers? The ever-topical
central theme in this collection of essays is the mixed role of
government and the institutionally regulated market in tackling
rural poverty and land distribution inequality. Drawing on over
half a century of M. Riad El-Ghonemy's academic and field
experience in developing countries across Africa, Latin America,
the Middle East and South East Asia, this is a comprehensive record
of the late-twentieth century study of and struggle against rural
inequality, seen through the eyes of one of its foremost observers.
Containing a balance of in-depth field studies and El-Ghonemy's
personal observations from 1952 onwards, this volume provides the
basis for discussion and debate on a range of developmental issues.
Foremost among these is the appropriate approach both to explain
the factors underlying developing countries' rural backwardness,
and to enable them to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of
halving the incidence of poverty and hunger by 2015. The compelling
argument made here is that redistributive land reform, combined
with non-farm intensive employment opportunities and investment in
education within rural areas are necessary to tackle persistent
poverty effectively. Anti-Poverty Land Reform Issues Never Die is
essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students
learning rural development and institutional and development
economics. M.Riad El-Ghonemy is Senior Research Associate at the
Department of International Development, University of Oxford and
Research Fellow at the Department of Economics, the American
University in Cairo, and Emeritus Professor, Ein-Shams University,
Cairo. He is the author of several publications, including The
Political Economy of Rural Poverty, Routledge (1990).
