"Despite their all-embracing designation, the so-called developing countries are by no means a homogeneous group. They include underpopulated and overpopulate nations, landlocked and coastal areas, countries rich in and deficient in natural resources. Dr. Myint presents here a balanced, coherent picture of the problems - both parallel and divergent - faced by these countries." -- From the back cover.
