Chapter 5 in Poverty in Haiti, 2011, pp 73-106 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A good part of our knowledge of how economies develop can be attributed to historical observation, and only the historical ‘laboratory’ is large enough to offer the development economist the variety required for generalization and construction of theories of wide applicability.1 Unfortunately, the economics profession has often failed to recognize this reality, and has proceeded instead in an armchair fashion.
