Urban bias revisited
回应了针对城市偏向理论的三大批评，论证该理论仍是解释当代发展中国家增长缓慢和不平等的核心力量，对研究贫困与城乡关系的学者有参考价值。
In his book ‘Why Poor People Stay Poor'the author has argued that urban bias is the moving force behind needlessly slow and inequitable growth in contemporary developing countries. This claim is defended against three main criticisms: that the methods chosen to test it are not appropriate; that the evidence tendered is not relevant or sufficient; and that the rural‐urban polarity is not clear‐cut or does not represent the prime conflict within contemporary developing countries.
