- catalog abstract ""The process of globalisation, evidenced by environmental change, migration, industrial relations and the extraordinary acceleration of international economic relations, has not led to increased convergence in the world economy. Rather, in some cases it has been accompanied by greater divergence between the fortunes of the world's richest and poorest nations. Professor Sylos Labini argues that mainstream economics provides limited help in considering these phenomena and instead adopts the perspectives of Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Thomas Robert Malthus, who put economic growth at the centre of their analyses." "In this short book he offers a new approach to the the theory of economic growth and reminds us of the great variety of economic trajectories in developing countries. He further proposes a strategy of institutional reform to respond to the problem of underdevelopment. For Africa, he recommends a strategy of organisational reforms, including a programme to eradicate illiteracy and to promote rural and industrial districts."--Jacket.".
