Ethical Issues And International Development: New Challenges For The Agricultural Economist

Abstract

The decade ahead will witness serious questions about distribution of income, cost-benefit relationships of "development" programs, and ethical relationships in the use of scarce resources due to the "energy crisis", a drastic cut in world food balance a few years ago, the accelerated depletion of many scarce resources, and rapid population growth. Parallel with the surfacing of these development issues has been a natural concern by planners about the effect their efforts have on individuals, communities, regions and countries. This concern has brought about renewed interest in explaining the terms "development", "being developed", and "the good life". In effect, there is a growing interest in ethical aspects as they relate to goals, means and economic theory in national and international development.
