Summary: "This book interprets the challenge of world poverty in terms of four themes. The first is an attempt to determine the applicability of existing economic theory to the economics of the [developing] countries. The second theme is concerned with the application of international trade theory to these countries. The third examines the relationships between education and economic development. The fourth theme explores the relationship between the internal aspects, including economic planning, and the external aspects of development. To illuminate these themes, Professor Myint has thoughtfully selected fourteen of his major papers from various journals and conference volumes. Each paper gains by being read along with the others. As the first volume in the Economic Development Series, the study provides perspective for subsequent volumes in the series." -- From the back cover
