The book under review is a compendium of acticles by eminenteconomists including W. M. Corden, Amartya Sen, Ronald McKinnon, DeepakLal and others. These economists who have had much experience withpolicy-making in developing countries evaluate the different policiesundertaken by governments to facilitate industrial progress in the lessdeveloped countries. Of particular importance among these policies arethose that deal with the balance of payments, exchange control,licensing, tariffs, quotas, etc. As noted by the editors themanufacturing sector has been largely responsible for industrialdevelopment; as such the subject matter of all the articles is relatedto this sector only.
