This well-preserved copy of “The Planning and Execution of Economic Development” by Louis J. Walinsky offers a fascinating window into post-World War II economic policies and their global impact. Published in 1963, it captures the zeitgeist of an era marked by decolonization and the birth of new nations seeking rapid industrialization. As a former senior official at the Ford Foundation and the U.S. Foreign Operations Administration, Walinsky brought firsthand experience in international development to this seminal work. His insights into the challenges of transitioning from agrarian to industrial economies remain relevant today, making this book a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and collectors interested in the evolution of economic thought and practice in the 20th century. Despite some external wear, the clean pages and secure binding ensure a rewarding reading experience.
