Economics of Development and the Development of Economics
旨在恢复历史视角,强调发展经济学对经济学其他领域的诸多贡献,指出年轻一代学者当前使用的许多闪亮思想最初来自这一被忽视的领域。
The purpose of this paper is to restore some historical perspective by highlighting the many contributions of development economics to the rest of economics. We will point out to the younger generations how some of the glittering ideas they currently play with originally came from that now-neglected field and how in some cases they have rediscovered, with great fanfare, insights that were well-known in the development literature, familiarity with which would have enriched their own work.
