Summary, etc. AS CHIEF ARCHITECT of the classic reform in Japan in 1946-4, Wolf Ladejinsky achieved renown as an expert on agriculture in Asia. F: made significant contributions to the equally successful land reform in postwar Taiwan and encouraged and provided guidance to agrarian efforts in India beginning in the early 1950s. Wolf Ladejinsky was a prime mover in the less well-known land reform successes of South Vietnam in the late 1950s. and helped incipient agrarian reform stirrings in Nepal, Indonesia, and the Philippines in the early 1960s. He spent most of his last ten years fighting, against enormous odds, to direct reform efforts in India into more practical and constructive channels, trying at the same time to generate the poi tical will without which meaningful agrarian reform cannot be accomplished.<br/><br/>To the governments and development institutions for which he worked during his highly productive career, Jadejinsky brought a keen appreciation of the welfare and dignity of the individual. His concerns were the concerns of the submarginal farmer, the tenaot, the sharecropper, and the landless laborer. His warm yet objective writings greatly affected the present understanding of the crucial role of agriculture in economic development, of the essential role of the small farmer in this process, and of the need for technological progress to be complemented by nurial reform and a greater measure of social justice in the countryside. No Westert er struggled harder to improve the peasant condition in Asia than did Wolf Ladejinsky, who early on became a legend in his own time,<br/><br/>This collection comprises a generous selection of Ladejin ky's best and most significant writings and spans his entire professional caree, representing every Asian country in which he worked. Most of the papers are previously unpublished and most have never before been available beyond the agencies and ministries he served. His works are a rich lode to be mine by all who are interested in the way and how of success and failure in economic development. This collection brings cogency and illumination to the human and institutional realities that challenge us with the unfinished business of agrarian reform.
