Dr Preston'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 'schools' 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.
