These case studies by an international roster of development economists provide
valuable insights into the difficulty of establishing answers to the fundamental question of why
nations grow at different rates, with inequitable patterns of wealth and income distribution.The
case studies of Colombia, Chile, Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda, the Philippines,
Mexico, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Argentina, Brazil, Nicaragua, Zambia, and Senegal look at each country
from the perspective of its own history and institutions, bringing to light factors that condition
observed performances.The country studies are framed by introductory chapters by Lance Taylor.
Taylor discusses the ideas underlying the cases and summarizes their implications. He sets current
policy in a broader context surrounded by initial and boundary conditions on economic reform
relevant for the 1990s: prior debates in development economics; the theory of the state; currently
popular options for economic stabilization and adjustment; and trade, industrial, and agricultural
strategies. Drawing on results of the country studies, Taylor also sets up a novel "3-gap"
macroeconomic model to calculate foreign resource requirements for growth.Lance Taylor is Professor
of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
