History of Economics Review, 2004, vol. 39, issue 1, 65-87

Abstract: Until the 1980s, development economics was dominated by analytical approaches formulated during the 1930s and 1940s in response to international instability. The relative backwardness of Eastern Europe had stimulated early thinking that carried over to the post-World War II agenda of reconstruction and nation-building. This paper examines the influence such analysis had on the history of development economics. Explanations for Eastern Europe’s backwardness suggested strategies for development that played an important role in orienting development thinking. In addition, research institutes and development thinkers that had dealt with Eastern Europe played central roles in formulating development economics from the 1940s on.
