From the Publisher
This volume is the result of one in a series of ten seminars designed to reexamine established precepts and practices of economic and political development. Each reflects the series theme -- Including the Excluded: Extending the Benefits of Development. Throughout the series, contemporary Third World experience is explicitly joined with the historical experience of the United States and other countries during comparable periods of development. The lively, frequently pointed, always instructive give-and-take among seminar participants is included in non-summarized form in each of the resulting products, published by ICS Press on behalf of their producer, Sequoia Institute, as Sequoia Seminar Publications.
