The Need for Rapid Structural Change

Keith Griffin and Jeffrey James

Chapter 1 in The Transition to Egalitarian Development, 1981, pp 1-11 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Increasing emphasis is being placed on the need to improve the distribution of income and alleviate the worst forms of poverty in the Third World. Scholars, international agencies, bilateral aid donors and some governments in poor countries have come to advocate redistributive growth strategies. Yet relatively little has been written about what policies might be adopted, about what problems are likely to be encountered during the transition from an inegalitarian to an egalitarian growth strategy, or about the actual experience of countries or regions where attempts have been made to introduce radical structural change.
