520			_aIn a rigorous and clear style, this book presents and examines critically the present state of theoretical development economics. It also discusses and formalizes some of the more important traditional contributions, and so provides the necessary background for interpreting recent advances. The author's reliance on diagrams and arguments rather than on mathematics, and the book's formal but wide coverage from Nurkse, Kalecki and Lewis to Stiglitz and Mirrlees make it a useful text for senior students of economics. Kaushik Basu's careful discussion of the literature which is, as yet, available only in academic journals, and his attempt to develop new concepts and to bring together work belonging to different schools of thought will ensure that it achieves a wide readership among professional economists as well..
