First published in 1967, Professor Bairochs Diagnostic de
LEvolution Economique du Tiers-Monde has gone into four editions,
and has brought the author an international reputation.
This English translation is, in effect, another edition based on
the latest French text but incorporating much which is not to be
found there. The statistical tables have been revised and expanded
wherever possible to include figures up to the end of 1972; the
bibliography has been specially adapted to include the literature
on the subject in the English language; and two new chapters have
been written: Chapter 8 on Urbanization and Chapter 9 on The labour
force and employment.
It has been Professor Bairochs aim in this book to examine the
development of under-developed countries (including China) during
the present century and through the use of comparative statistics
to formulate a diagnosis of their growth. His analysis includes,
whenever relevant, a comparison between the present economic
progress of Third World countries and that of the developed
countries at the time of their take off. Special attention has also
been given to Chinas unique path of development.
In the course of his research the author has elaborated several new
series. The production of these new series and their integration
with existing data make this book a valuable quantitative economic
history of the Third World.
