The Balance between Industry and Agriculture in Economic Development : Volume 5 Factors Influencing Change

Participation in the Congress was broadly based in terms both of geography and of the types of economy from which participants came; market orientated and centrally planned; developed and developing; mainly agricultural and predominantly industrial.The Congress included a number of plenary sessions, but much of the work of the Congress was undertaken in eighteen specialised meetings. The volume of papers was too large for them all to be published, but the five volumes in this group, together with a volume on the Indian economy being published separately in India, represent the major viewpoints expressed. The volumes generally contain reports on the discussions which took place during the specialised sessions.
