Dr Prestona (TM)s book, first published in 1982, presents a
critical history of development studies since the Second World War,
linking the recent, neo-Marxist, debate with the whole tradition in
the field, going back to the work of economists like Arthur
Lewis.
He identifies a series of a ~schoolsa (TM) and evaluates their
contribution, supplying in each case a careful analysis, informed
by the sociology of knowledge, of the work of its leading
theorists. His final assessment draws on the critical theory of
Habermas, arguing that social theorising is essentially practical;
a matter of the construction, criticism and comparative ranking of
ideologies, and that theorists should therefore consider what it
makes sense for them to do or say, given their circumstances and
the problems they address.
