Saith A.

Abstract: Argues that strategies encouraging surplus extraction from agriculture, combined with stalled industrialisation constitute the root causes of persistent rural poverty. Suggests that an agriculture-first strategy is necessary not only for rural poverty alleviation, but also for successful industrialisation.
