This book examines relations between foreign trade and economic growth and on the magnitude of the future import and capital needs of the less developed nations. It also examines burden-sharing of foreign aid in terms of donor's cost, not recipients' gains. Furthermore, the book examines issues like: efficiency, economy, and equity of foreign aid; a historical review of cost-sharing experiences (from the Universal Postal Union to NATO); an excellent attempt to provide an accurate definition of aid; and a description of the resource transfer to poor countries implicit in international commodity agreements.
