Review of [Pakistan's] [Development : Social Goals and] [Private Incentives].

W. Wilcox

Expert InsightsPublished 1968

Gustav Papanek, in his vigorous chronicle of Pakistan's economic development, uses Pakistan's experience to question many concepts in the development literature and to find ample evidence that destroys some of the shibboleths about traditional society and traditional man. Papanek's analysis of the experience of development examines the contribution of the entrepreneur, the civil servant, and the peasantry to Pakistan's success and the process that allowed private producers in industry, peasants in agriculture, and government managers to alternate between incentives and control, the free market and the directed market, and private gain and public purpose. 4 pp.
