The underdeveloped country

by John Kenneth Galbraith

These 1965 Massey Lectures all have to do with the same general theme - the economics and politics of the developing countries. Lecture 1 and 2 deal with the common features and problems of the poor countries. Lecture 3 and 4 are concerned with the causes of poverty and in the final lecture John Kenneth Galbraith considers what can be done to promote or insure advance.
