Synopsis: 'For quite a long time now, Professor Bauer of London has been issuing stimulating, serious polemical challenges to many of the ideas that have dominated discussions of economic development. This book is one of his best, with papers on equality, poverty, aid, population, commodities, colonialism, investment and the state of economics' (William Diebold, Jr., review for Foreign Affairs, Fall 1981).

'There are few branches of development economics in which Bauer has not had something interesting and important to say. And he has gone beyond development economics into the study of comparative economic systems, international economic relations, and general political economy. . . . Bauer's political and economic analysis powerfully illuminates various aspects of international economic relations that are often ignored' (Amartya Sen, review for New York Review of Books, 4 March 1982)
