REVIEW OF 'PAKISTAN'S DEVELOPMENT: SOCIAL GOALS AND PRIVATE INCENTIVES,'

Abstract

Gustav Papanek, one of the early workers in Pakistan's reputedly hopeless vineyard, has watched and participated in the country's growth for more than a decade. As Director of Harvard's Development Advisory Service, he uses this book to simultaneously describe Pakistan's experience, to use the lessons of this experience to question many concepts in the development literature and to find in Pakistan's case ample evidence to destroy some of the shibboleths about traditional societies and traditional man. As Edward Mason cautions in the foreword, the arguments are made with considerable vigor as is appropriate to an author who has had something to do with the successes he describes. (Author)
