This is a book on economic development written by practitioners. It is the result of specific experiences encountered by a group of economists working for the Harvard Development Advisory Service in the process of making policy recommendations to various governments. The contributions to this volume deal with specific-country issues drawn from only four countries' Argentina, Colombia, Pakistan, and Liberia. The volume is divided into the following six parts: (1) planning, macro models, and development strategy; (2) stabilization and short-term policy; (3) fiscal policy; (4) agricultural development; (5) education, manpower, labor, and wages; and finally (6) evaluation. The bulk of the papers are included in the first two parts (seven papers), with the last four parts containing only one contribution each. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
