Professor Duller, a Dutch economist who worked in advisory and research capacities across various developing nations, demonstrates in \u003ci\u003eDevelopment Technology\u003c\/i\u003e (originally published in 1982) how these challenges could be addressed through the application of specially designed or adapted technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author observes that development planners had been misled by apparent parallels between nineteenth-century Western industrialization and late twentieth-century conditions in third world countries. While Western industrialization drew its workforce from agriculture during periods of low demographic growth and high industrial employment, the Global South faced different circumstances: rapidly increasing populations and modern technologies that provided limited employment opportunities. The strategies advocated since the 1950s had largely failed to achieve self-sustained economic growth in these nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor Duller argues that the solution remained technological but required a radically new approach that responded to the actual conditions prevailing in much of the developing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e H.
