Hans Singer is undoubtedly one of, if not the, world's major scholars in the field of Development Economics. Over the last six decades he has made numerous contributions to the subject both as scholar and practitioner. This book contains 27 essays that were prepared for a conference that was held in Innsbruck Austria in May 1996 to celebrate his 85th birthday and represents a major and important overview of issues in development economics from the most eminent scholars in the field.
Singer (development studies, U. of Sussex, England) selected the 21 essays from those he has written and published over the past two decades. They address development economics in historical perspective and its current status; the pioneers in development, including Smith and Keynes; growth, industrialization, and trade; current questions of the terms-of-trade debate and import substitution; North-South and South-South linkages; foreign aid; and other topics.

As one of the most pioneering development economists, Hans Singer has stimulated many of the ideas that have engaged the attention of the world community for several decades. Not only has he helped to form an understanding of the problems of developing countries, but he has also shown what might be done to solve them. This collection brings together for the first time key essays on the issues underlying food aid and the development of the UN. These are grouped into five areas: postwar development experience; reform of the United Nations; debt and debt servicing; structural adjustment and stabilization; and food aid.
