520			_aProfessor Bauer was recently described by Professor Amartya Sen in The New York Review of Books as "... one of the most distinguished development economists in the world, and undoubtedly the foremost conservative one'. Bauer remains an unrelenting critic of the gap between the rhetoric of post-war development economics and the reality of economic progress in the Third World. These scholarly essays cover a wide field and include clerical notions on economic questions; the legacy of colonialism in Africa; major issues in development policy; and the economic relations between the West and the South. Elegantly and clearly written, this book avoids technical terms and economic jargon, and will be understood and enjoyed by any intelligent reader.
