United States and the Developing Economics Book

What began as a much-applauded example of American concern for less prosperous peoples is now a favorite target in political debates; the recipient nations themselves have called into question the extent and nature of the aids programs. In this much-enlarged edition, almost twenty new articles are included. They reflect the skepticism about foreign-aid programs, and particularly about fixed rates of growth for developing countries. There is increased emphasis on the nature of the developing economies and on the development record.
