Le « Biais Urbain » de Michael Lipton: théorie et critiques

Edouard Mien and Arnaud Niedbalec

Regards croisés sur l'économie, 2021, vol. n° 28, issue 1, 137-142

Abstract: In his 1977 book, Why Poor People Stay Poor: Urban Bias in World Development, Michael Lipton developed his theory of ?urban bias? in public policy in ?Third World? countries. By favoring the populations of urban areas to the detriment of rural areas, he argued that the fiscal and monetary policies of these countries tend to be inefficient. We will question the author?s developments and various criticisms of ?urban bias.?
