Economic Development: The History of an Idea
Author: H W Arndt
"Economic Development makes an important contribution of the literature on economic development, especially as it incorporates ideas on a theme that informs our concern for social justice, individual and social freedom, identify, and community."--Winston E. Langley, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
Booknews
Well received when first published in 1987, Arndt's elegant summary should find an even larger readership in its attractively priced reprint edition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
