A result of more than four decades of teaching experience, this book deals with the problems of economic growth, development and eradication of poverty and unemployment. The book also includes an analytical study of important issues of environment and sustainable development. The book not only explains the models and theories of economic growth but also critically evaluates their relevance to developing countries. A major highlight of discussion in the context is the exploration of the widely accepted Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach to development.

Saudi Arabia is one of the most controversial and least known of the Arab nations. A land of massive contrasts – between its densely populated cities and its vast expanses of desert; between the recent poverty of its villages and the massive wealth created by oil, which is drawing a labour force from most of the neighbouring countries; between the aggressive technocratic and industrial thrust forward and the strongly traditionalist Islamic basis of the ruling ideologies – it has progressed to world prominence in a matter of years after centuries of little or no change. The change is not so much a surge, or even a thrust, as a rush into the industrialized and wealthy world. This book analyzes the problems and achievements of Saudi development and provides the first detailed critique of the Third Development Plan. First published in 1982.
