description Fourteen papers written by former students or colleagues of Paul Streeten, who is currently Director of the World Development Institute at Boston University, in honor of his many contributions to development economics, his role in the basic needs movement in development economics, and his emphasis on the importance of understanding economic behavior in its social and political context. Topics include: Adam Smith's treatment of prudence, stagflation and the third world, a proposal for an IMF debt refinancing subsidiary, alternative approaches to North-South negotiations, a welfare-theoretic analysis of extending free trade to include international investment, the third world and comparative advantage in trade in services, the early 1980s in Latin America, communal land tenure systems and their role in rural development, world food security, and East-South trade. Many of the contributors are economists. Lall is Senior Research Officer, Institute of Economics and Statistics and a Fellow of Green College, Oxford University. Stewart is Senior Research Officer, Institute of Commonwealth Studies and Fellow of Somerville College, Oxford University. Index.
