Con la palabra de Dios, by Roberto Cassá
Gunnar Myrdal
Gustav Cassel once declared that his production was so extensive and widespread that no one would be able to write his complete biography. Much the same could be said about his favourite student and successor as professor at Stockholm University, Gunnar Myrdal—1051 publications up to 1976 (Bohrn, 1976)—with the addition that this task is perhaps even harder in view of everything that has been written about Myrdal. Nonetheless, a Myrdal biography …
Inequality
This book presents wide-ranging perspectives on economic inequality, as measured by differences in incomes and wealth. The contributors to this book explore how the economy is shaped in such a way as to generate differences in economic and social welfare between individuals, regions and nations.

The Economics of the Frontier
This book deals with the economics of establishing a frontier by conquest or by peaceful settlement, the costs involved, and the optimum extension of the territory. The opening chapters discuss the most relevant literature about frontiers â conceptual, theoretical and empirical â and introduce the fundamental theoretical model for extending frontiers which is drawn on throughout the book. The authors use this theoretical apparatus by applying it …
Frontiers and Empires in Historical Perspective
This chapter surveys a number of frontier episodes (historical examples which bring out the importance of our approach).
The First Globalization Episode
This chapter applies the empire model to what is arguably the first globalization episode: the creation of the largest territorially continuous empire that the world has so far seen, ranging from Korea to Eastern Europe, by a maximum of 1 million Mongols. The chapter examines the Mongol choice between herding and conquest, arguing that for ecological reasons the marginal return to the former was exceedingly low, which made conquest the superior a…
The Haitian Rice Tariff
Se ha argumentado que los problemas agríco-las de Haití derivan de la tarifa del arroz de a mediados de los años noventa. Antes, supues-tamente, Haití fue autosuficiente, abastecida por su producción doméstica. Después de la reducción, el mercado haitiano se inundó en importaciones de arroz barato de los EEUU, lo cual despojó a los campesinos de sus fincas, convirtiendolos en migrantes internos, hacia los empleos de bajo pago de las ciudades. El …

Some stepping stones in the economic modelling of apartheid
After a review of some of the seminal empirical contributions to the study of the economic role of racial discrimination in South Africa, the essay compares and contrasts three different approaches to the formal economic modelling of the apartheid system, based on these contributions: the neoclassical approach which emphasizes gains and losses in terms of factor incomes, the public goods approach designed to deal with ‘petty’ apartheid, and the e…
The Political Economy of Disaster
Peasants and Religion
This book examines the relationship between economics, politics and religion through the case of Olivorio Mateo and the religious movement he inspired from 1908 in the Dominican Republic. The authors explore how and why the new religion was formed, and why it was so successful. Comparing this case with other peasant movements, they show ways in which folk religion serves as a response to particular problems which arise in peasant societies during…

Five Decisive Events in the Economic History of Haiti
The present chapter deals with the historical reasons why Haiti is caught in what appears to be a secular economic decline, which in all probability has been going on for at least a century.1 There is a strong case for approaching Haiti’s economic plight from a historical standpoint. The chapter singles out what I believe to be the five most decisive events in Haiti’s economic history so as to reconstruct an interrelated series of historical phen…

Population growth and job creation in Timor-Leste
Timor-Leste began its independence as one of the poorest nations in the world. Substantial progress has been made thereafter but the challenges for future development are numerous. High population growth and modest growth of GDP means that per capita income is declining and that the extent of poverty is increasing. For this situation to change, income opportunities other than those provided by subsistence agriculture are needed. Considering the l…
The oil resources of Timor-Leste
Timor-Leste is among the youngest nations in the world. It began its independence under difficult circumstances: poverty is widespread, education is poor, the industrial sector is non-existent, and political turbulence is on the rise. On the positive side, future oil revenues are predicted to be substantial, which could potentially be a great help in Timor-Leste's struggle for development. This paper examines critically the possibility for Timor-…

Between 1796 and 1801 Toussaint L'Ouverture emerged as the undisputed leader of the Haitian insurgents against French supremacy. During this period he gained military control over the entire island of Hispaniola. The insurgents were given a moment of rest in the long wars of liberation which had commenced in 1791. A rest was urgently needed, not least for economic reasons. The colonial economy, which had exported sugar, coffee, cotton and indigo,…

Income and Land Distribution in Haiti
The article discusses the quality of available statistics on income and land distribution in Haiti. It is demonstrated that some of the most widely quoted figures do not stand up to methodological scrutiny. Hence, no serious discussion of redistribution, let alone practical measures, can be based on these figures

The Primary Sector in Economic Development
‘Efficient but Poor’, — schultz', theory of traditional agriculture
For quite some time after World War II peasant behavior in less developed countries was ‘unproblematic’. There was a general consensus that peasants were not ‘economic men’, in the sense that they tried to maximize profits as postulated by mainstream economic theory. Instead, their acts were assumed to be governed by ‘tradition’, or ‘conservatism’, which by and large had nothing to do with the type of maximizing or minimizing behavior which acqui…

The state and economic development in Haiti and the Dominican Republic
In the search for a "development theory", during the 1950s and 1960s economists on the whole gave only limited consideration to the behavior of the state. Interest was mainly focused on the role of such factors as capital accumulation, education, transfer of technology, trade strategies etc in the development process. When the state entered the analysis, emphasis was usually put on its positive contribution to development: the state provides infr…

Underdevelopment in Haiti
The most persistent theme in social science analyses of Haiti concerns the causes of the country's economic underdevelopment. During the past few years, a number of significant works have been published which touch upon this theme. The present article will comment on some of these contributions to the debate, beginning with the discussion of the Haitian state and the defence mechanisms employed by the peasants against theautorités.I will then mov…
The Haitian Economy Facing the 1990S
The article provides an analysis of the state of the Haitian economy at the beginning of the 1990s, with a view to the possibilities of changing the downward course in the future. The interaction of population growth with erosion makes for decreasing production and incomes in agriculture. Protection of import-competing manufacturing has led to high costs and inefficient production, while assembly industries producing for exports have been more su…
