With style and imagination, this iconoclastic work covers the major
issues in development economics. In eight carefully reasoned
essays, P. T. Bauer challenges most of the accepted notions and
supports his views with evidence drawn from a wide range of primary
sources and direct experience. The essays were selected on the
basis of their interest to students and general readers from
Bauer's book, Dissent on Development: Studies and Debates in
Development Economics. Reviewing the previous work, the Wall Street
Journal wrote: "It could have a profound impact on our thinking
about the entire development question... Quite simply, it is no
longer possible to discuss development economics intelligently
without coming to grips with the many arguments P. T. Bauer
marshalled in this extraordinary work."
