Development Projects Observed

Development Projects Observed by Albert O. Hirschman delves into the successes, failures, tensions, and new skills generated by more than two decades of development efforts aimed at promoting growth and change in low-income countries. Hirschman focuses on the decision-making processes involved in specific undertakings such as a pulp and paper mill establishment in east Pakistan, railway expansion in Nigeria, and an irrigation project in Peru. The book provides scholarly inquiry and new insights into the development process, guiding the next stages of a county's development effort.
