Abstract
It was with some hesitation that I chose the topic of the present article since my professional training is far removed from the abstractions of pure economic theory. An inquiry into the relationship between technology and the terms of trade obliges one to face, indeed, such wide-ranging and controversial theoretical issues as those related to the analysis of the relationship between technology (in individual sectors and the whole economy of a country) and national and international market configurations.
Questions of the extent and limits of economic knowledge and ignorance can be of great social and political importance. .. T. W. Hutchinson: Knowledge and I gnorance in Economics—Oxford 1977.
