The United States and the Developing Economies the United States and the Developing Economies

The foreign aid programs of the United States have come under increasing fire from congressional committees and from many segments of the population. What began as a much-applauded example of American concern for less prosperous peoples is now a favorite target in political debates; the recipient nations themselves have called into question the extent and nature of the aids programs. In this much-enlarged edition almost twenty new articles are included. They reflect the skepticism about foreign-aid programs and particularly about fixed rates of growth for developing countries. There is increased emphasis on the nature of the developing economies and on the development record.
