SynopsisThe author reviews the alternative analytical approaches that have emerged in development economics and identifies six paradigms: structuralist, expanding capital nucleus, neo-Marxist, Maoist, basic needs, neo-classical and dependency theory. She critically analyzes the main features of each paradigm and identifies the areas where they conflict and support one other. The book presents a coherent analysis of the different approaches to economic development and will be essential reading for economists, political scientists, and sociologists interested in the Third World.
