Development Economics in Perspective

  • Sukhamoy Chakravarty
Chapter

Abstract

Development theorizing in economics is old but so-called ‘development economics’ is not. Economists from the middle of the eighteenth century onwards have been writing books on the subject even when the discipline of economics had not emerged as a distinct body of thought or as a self-contained mode of reasoning.
