A survey of the field of development studies, in the form of 14 seminal essays originally published between 1952 and 1989 (it's no coincidence that the period parallels the Cold War) and arranged in three parts: early mainstream perspectives (includes W. Arthur Lewis and W.W. Rostow); early critical challenges (includes P. Baran, Andre Gunder Frank, and S. Amin); and afterthoughts on development (includes Amartya Sen and Deepak Lal).
