Opis

Whilst development economics has focused on questions of growth, income distribution - and its implications for growth and for the eradication of poverty - has received less attention. This book, by a leading expert in the field, corrects that imbalance, and gives a comprehensive review of the link between income distribution and the growth of national income.

Recenzje

`...an enormously readable book on income distribution in LDCs and it will remain obligatory reading for research students working on income distribution.' - Income Journal
