Book Reviews: Development Economics – A New Paradigm By Syed Nawab Haider Naqvi

The book essentially revolves around a discussion on the implications and meaning of the word ‘paradigm’ seeking an alternative paradigm for development economics. It is amply apparent that development economics is not an academic discipline and its usefulness is on its way out to all intents and purposes. The author attempts to make a brave effort to rescue it by highlighting its relevance and importance in the current corpus of economic theory.
