Reviews

"It has the great merit that the difficult, delicate and often highly frustrating impediments to any theory of growth are not assumed out of the way." - The Financial Times
"Cairncross expounds his views on these issues of economic development with a wealth of illustrative material, all of it used with great skill and wisdom." - The Guardian
