This collection of survey articles from the international journal World Development presents a review of recent research in a number of areas of development policy; appraises the work critically and emphasises gaps where work still needs to be carried out. The distinguished authors have been encouraged to be interdisciplinary in their approach and to highlight conclusions for policy makers and for solving practical problems. Each survey article provides a guide to the literature which in itself is a major bibliographic feature

First Things First: Meeting Basic Human Needs in the Developing Countries

World Bank

The starting point of Paul Streeten's book is the dilemma, faced by policy makers in many developing countries: should the price of food be high, in order to stimulate production, or low, in order to prevent poor food buyers from starving? The author goes on to discuss the role of prices in the light of these and other objectives. 'It is the work of one of our wisest scholars on what I consider to be the key policy issue for economic development in the 1980s...this provocative essay will be required reading for anyone working on agricultural price policy.' C.Peter Timmer 'It provides solid and practical guidance to scholars and decision-makers. It is lucid, balanced and, above all, useful.' Robert Klitgaard 'Paul Streeten is well known for his gift of explaining the pros and cons of difficult policy issues in a clear, simple and realistic way, appealing to policy-makers, students and the wider development community, as well as to academic colleagues. This gift is fully displayed in his new book, and readers are bound to emerge with a better awareness of the conflicts and policy reforms which are involved.' H.W.Singer
