Abstract: Given the inconsistencies among theories used to explain economic development, the recent work by Amos (1990) and Flammang (1990 and 1979) is important. The authors synthesize alternative theories in order to pose new meta-theory or conceptual frameworks and, in so doing, advance our understanding of economic development. This author draws on their concepts and frameworks to define economic growth and economic development more clearly and to suggest face-valid measures of these concepts. With better measures of these basic concepts, alternative theories and models of economic development may be tested more rigorously.
