'There are path-breaking papers in this collection, which have shaped the way we think about development and (to a lesser extent, unfortunately) how it is done. Adjustment with a Human face is more preached than practiced, and the need for it has now spread to the so-called developed countries. And visions of a new world order remain visions. Consequently, these papers remain vividly and urgently relevant.' - Frances Stewart, Oxford Department of International Development, UK
