Promoting Economic Development: the United States and Southern Asia
Promoting Economic Development: the United States and Southern Asia
By Edward S. Mason
Claremont College, 1955, 83 pp.

In these lectures Dr. Mason very concisely and skillfully examines the justification for U.S. aid to Southern Asia--primarily as a security interest--and the prospects for economic advance--which he considers only moderate. Contains a useful section on Pakistan, where the author served as an economic adviser.
