British Classical Economists and Underdevelopment in India

In: From Classical Economics to Development Economics

Abstract

At least since W. Arthur Lewis’s pathbreaking contribution — “Economic Development with Unlimited Supplies of Labour” (1954) — modern students of development economics have required no reminder that economists in the classical tradition were fundamentally concerned with problems of long-term economic growth. The “composite” classical model he then presented drew on their insights to illuminate the dynamics of expansion in the setting of economic dualism.1
