Abstract

Recognition of institutional reform as an important variable for economic development has been relatively slow in coming. As with population problems, it has taken many years of debate and publicity to bring this ‘externality’ into proper focus for economists. A significant shift of informed opinion was brought to attention through the conference on land reform held in Washington, D.C., in early June 1970 as a ‘Spring Review’ by the U.S. Agency for International Development.1 An official summarisation of the Review’s results acknowledges that ‘In the past the United States has been notably reluctant to become involved in any aspect of land reform and its attitude has sometimes actually prevented progress’, but now the speaker envisaged United States policy as ‘moving from apathetic neglect to benign interest and a willingness to share in the effort’.2
