Book Description

June 4, 1987 Exxon Education Foundation series on rhetoric and political discourse
This work, which establishes Dr. Alcalde's standing as a leading theorist, fills a vacuum that has existed on the sources of British and American thought on development in the first half of the twentieth century. It seeks to link such ideas with the expansion of American trade and commerce.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Excellent book which fills a real gap in the literature on the history of the development debate. The more the concept of development is questioned as a general policy orientation with some prospect of success, the more it will become necessary to diginto its conceptual history. This is precisely the achievement of Alcalde's book, and the achievement is impressive.>>> (Dr. Dieter Senghaas )

...a valuable contribution.>>>>
