Summary
This volume is one of two publications that celebrate the centenary of Ragnar Nurkse's birth. The other volume, also published by Anthem and titled Ragnar Nurkse (1907–2007): Classical Development Economics and its Relevance for Today, prints the result of a conference commemorating Nurkse.
Ragnar Nurkse was born in Estonia in 1907; he died unexpectedly in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1959. He is known today as a pioneer among early development economists, his works are as relevant today as they where during his lifetime.
This volume reprints all the key works of Ragnar Nurkse.
We would like to thank the Estonian Science Foundation (grant no 6703) for financial support in publishing the two volumes; and Bonn Juego and Ingbert Edenhofer for their editorial help.
The editors.
