`Elusive Development is an ambitious, exhiliarating attempt to
persuade academics and policy makers alike "that meaningful
development, whether under socialism or under progressive
nationalism, will remain elusive, unless it is sustained by a
number of critical and though preprquisites. ... In an era of
cascading capitalism, Yusif Sayigh offers a welcome alternative
vision for the future.' - International Journal of Middle East

`This is a welcome addition to the literature on economic
development...it makes for very interesting and relevant reading in
