Abstract
It is misleading to talk about ‘the developing countries’ as if they were all alike: the problems of India and Sierra Leone—to take two examples with which I have personally had contact—differ widely. Nevertheless, it would be wrong to say that developing countries have nothing in common and that each has to be considered separately as a special case. There are considerable differences in detail among them, but a broad scheme of analysis can be outlined, which can be applied to each country according to its special characteristics.
