The Developing CountriesEdición 1

This title was first published in 1965. In this book, the analysis of production indicators and various aspects of the economic effectiveness of factory and small-scale industry is made chiefly on the basis of statistical materials of India, Burma, and Pakistan because these materials are the most complete and comprehensive. Unfortunately, statistics on other countries do not permit us to arrive at any kind of coherent idea as to the basic indicators of the activity of small-scale industry and are therefore used only as supplementary illustrative material for the basic conclusions. The author hopes that subsequent research on this important and urgent problem will extend our understanding of it and will introduce into scientific circulation a broader range of statistical materials, including those on other developing countries.
