India, one of the largest and most broadly industrialized of the rising middle powers of the Third World, has increasing influence on the outcome of the major issues of global interdependency: nuclear proliferation, natural resources control, trade relations, and population growth. Yet, the Western world generally, and the United States in particular, remains ill equipped to understand and adapt to this rapidly changing global reality. The topics in this volume were chosen for their importance to understanding the basis of India's global role.

This book examines the role of agriculture in the economic transformation of developing low- and middle-income countries and explores means for accelerating agricultural growth and poverty reduction. In this volume, Mellor measures by household class the employment impact of alternative agricultural growth rates and land tenure systems, and impact on cereal consumption and food security. The book provides detailed analysis of each element of agricultural modernization, emphasizing the central role of government in accelerated growth in private sector dominated agriculture. The book differs from the bulk of current conventional wisdom in its placement of the non-poor small commercial farmer at the center of growth, and explains how growth translates into poverty reduction. This new book is a follow up to Mellor’s classic, prize-winning text, The Economics of Agricultural Development.Listed as a Best Books of 2017: Economics by Financial Times.
