A chapter in Economic Development with Special Reference to East Asia, 1964, pp 212-232 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract While there has been during recent years an enormous volume of writing on the problems of economic growth, of ‘take-off’ and of the methods by which assistance can be brought to countries that are attempting to speed up their rate of development, much less has been written on the subject of the relation of international trade to this process, and what has been written has not been at all completely integrated into the theories of economic growth. Very much of what has been written in the latter field seems implicitly to assume, indeed, that the economic system considered is a closed one. I make no excuse, therefore, for approaching the problem of foreign trade in relation to development in rather general terms.1
