Sprache: Deutsch Leineneinband gr. 8;; 403 Seiten; Bibliotheksstempel auf Rückseite Haupttitel, untere rechte Ecke leicht bestoßen; Tabellen, Diagramme - A NUMBER of years of teaching, consulting, and actively furthering the economic development of agriculture in low-income developing nations have convinced me of the dangers of either underemphasizing or overemphasizing the agricultural sector of the economy. This book therefore attempts a middle ground between an industrial fundamentalism that ignores the dominant agricultural sector in focusing on the task of developing the nonfarm sector of the economy, and an agricultural fundamentalism that focuses only on the population explosion, the state of human nutrition, and the need to feed growing numbers of hungry people. The one approach is unlikely to lead to the development of agriculture, and thereby misses an important opportunity for speeding the total process of development. The other approach is not only likely to lead to the uneconomic use of resources and a slower over-all rate of development, but may also encourage a misplaced effort within the agricultural sector itself. In any case, sustaining the population explosion by simply feeding more people is not enough-the problem for agriculture is how to contribute to broadening freedom of choice beyond the barest necessities of life. In steering a middle path the book provides the basis for more precision than does the concept of balanced growth, with its implied proportional development of the agricultural and nonagricultural sectors. It attempts this by spelling out in detail the role that agriculture can play. Through this approach the basis is laid for an optimal emphasis on the agricultural sector. The book includes few clear rules of thumb or specific recommendations for development. It is not a cook book. Rather, it emphasizes the basis upon which decisions may be made. The variability in physical, economic, political, and cultural forces prevents the rendering of sweeping advice and increases the ne.

xix + 233pp, bibliography, index, dustjacket, a good copy. Leading development specialists examine the complexities of the issues around the "green revolution" and whether the rural poor have been left behind. They present conclusions with major implications for development policy. Much of the book builds on ideas of the late Indian economist Dharm Narain whose seminal work on the interrelationships between poverty, food prices, and the growth performance of agriculture has in many ways set the agenda for research.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines the role of agriculture in the economic transformation of developing low- and middle-income countries and explores means for accelerating agricultural growth and poverty reduction. In this volume, Mellor measures by household class the employment impact of alternative agricultural growth rates and land tenure systems, and impact on cereal consumption and food security. The book provides detailed analysis of each element of agricultural modernization, emphasizing the central role of government in accelerated growth in private sector dominated agriculture. The book differs from the bulk of current conventional wisdom in its placement of the non-poor small commercial farmer at the center of growth, and explains how growth translates into poverty reduction. This new book is a follow up to Mellor's classic, prize-winning text, The Economics of Agricultural Development.Listed as a Best Books of 2017: Economics byFinancial Times.

This is a Twentieth Century Fund Study. John Williams Mellor (born December 28, 1928) is a French-born American economist, known for his work in the field of economic and agricultural development in third world countries. In 1985, he was awarded the Wihuri International Prize. A Fulbright Scholar, he spent most of his academic career at his alma mater, Cornell University. In the early 1970s, he became an economist for USAID, eventually becoming their chief economist in 1976. He then became the second director-general of the International Food Policy Research Institute in 1977, where he remained until 1990. He has authored numerous books and articles. A top specialist here offers a bold new blueprint for economic development. Mr. Mellor draws on his vast experience in the field to design a a strategy for alleviating poverty in the underdeveloped world by increasing the participation of the poor in the growth process. Pointing out the inadequacies of current development practices,Mr. Mellor sets forth a high-employment strategy centered on increased agricultural production. He tests his plan in the context of India--the stronghold of the capital intensive approach to development, which has so far produced disappointing rates of growth and little or no improvement in the economic condition of lower-income groups. He takes a close look a at the sources of current development in India, diagnoses the successes and failiures of the system, and offers step-by-step projections of growth patterns under his approach. While emhasizing the significance of the agricultural sector, he stresses the interrelationships among agriculture, indusry, trade, aid, social welfare programs and the planning process itself. Mr. Mellor does not minimize the extraordinary adjustments needed to shift from one plan to another, but his proposals are realistic and positive. His book will stimulate constructive debate about India's economic future and may well have a vital impact on the future welfare of the developing world.
