A series of three lectures, this volume discusses the scope and limitations of economics in the study of developing countries. It reviews a number of economic aspects and developments, including the instruments and implications of the rapid but uneven economic progress of many of areas, especially in Africa and South-East Asia.

Peter Bauer, a pioneer of development economics, is an incisive thinker whose work continues to influence fields from political science to history to anthropology. As Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen writes in the introduction to this book, "the originality, force, and extensive bearing of his writings have been quite astonishing." This collection of Bauer's essays reveals the full power and range of his thought as well as the central concern that underlies so much of his diverse work: the impact of people's conduct, their cultural institutions, and the policies of their governments on economic...

Even in impoverished countries lacking material and human resources, P. T. Bauer argues, economic growth is possible under the right conditions. These include a certain amount of thrift and enterprise among the people, social mores and traditions which sustain them, and a firm but limited government which permits market forces to work. Challenging many views about development that are widely held, Bauer takes on squarely the notion that egalitarianism is an appropriate goal. He goes on to argue that the population explosion of less-developed countries has on the whole been a...

Reality and Rhetoric is the culmination of P. T. Bauer's observations and reflections on Third World economies over a period of thirty years. He critically examines the central issues of market versus centrally planned economies, industrial development, official direct and multinational resource transfers to the Third World, immigration policy in the Third World, and economic methodology. In addition, he has written a fascinating account of recent papal doctrine on income inequality and redistribution in the Third World. The major themes that emerge are the importance of noneconomic...

In microcontroller controlled systems the limited computational capacity requires simple control solutions meanwhile multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) controllers usually give better performance than simple single-input single-output ones. In this work simple, causal tracking solutions are studied considering MIMO linear time invariant system models with fixed gain, minimum state dimensional controllers. Causal, infinite horizon LQ optimal and LQ minimax optimal tracking controllers are developed which - as the author knows - are new solutions to the infinite horizon tracking problem. The...
