520			_aDr. FRANSMAN'S BOOK provides a competent and per ceptive survey of the field. His attack on inadequacies in neo-classical eco nomics and dependency theory are thoughtful and should help open the way to new thinking." PROFESSOR CHARLES COOPER, Institute of Social Studies, The Hague. What is the impact of technology on economic development? This book provides a comprehensive up-to-date survey of this critical question and indicates new directions for future research. Dr. Fransman argues that while neo classical economics and dependency theory have made their contribution, they have not provided an adequate analysis of technical and productivity change, and therefore economic changes more generally. Dr. Fransman suggests that funda mentally new conceptions are re quired if progress is to be made in improving our understanding of the role played by technology and eco nomic development.
