Summary, etc. In recent decades developing economies have generally experienced greater inequality and environmental damage with population growth often eating into productivity gains. This volume describes how post-green revolution Punjab constitutes the sole example where:<br/><br/>rising population has not inundated the cities<br/><br/>agricultural intensification has not degraded the environment<br/><br/>increasing agricultural productivity has generated real rise in agricultural incomes across the board<br/><br/>a growing rural resource base has steadily upgraded the physical, social and educational infrastructure in the countryside<br/><br/>The book demonstrates that the process of development in Punjab has resulted from long-term policy initiatives and programmes. Thus, instead of a mass movement into a haphazard urban informal sector located in city slums, there has been a systematic movement of industry out of the cities. This has created an urban-rural continuum that combines the best of both worlds. Above, all, it has also yielded a 'greening' of the environment, with increased reforestation and tree coverage.<br/><br/>The experience of Punjab indicates the possibility of 'leap frogging' intermediate stages of economic and social development to create what might potentially be called the developing world's first post-industrial rural society.<br/><br/>The book will be an indispensable resource for students and researchers of agricultural economics, history, development, and environment studies, and policy-makers.
