Ruttan brings an impressive breadth of knowledge to this book, in which he synthesizes various strands of social science research and thought, including evolution of thought about development in anthropology, sociology, political science, and growth economics. These, he argues, are important for development economists as they work to improve economic conditions for people throughout the world. He draws on these contributions in exploring the state of knowledge on the adoption, diffusion, and transfer of technology; the renovation and transformation of traditional institutions; the roles of religion, culture, ethnicity, and nationalism; and the role of foreign economic assistance in economic development.

Ruttan advances a model in which institutional change is induced by changes in resource and cultural endowments and by technical change. The disequilibria resulting from such changes create opportunities for the design of more efficient institutional arrangements. The design perspective employed in the book stands in sharp contrast to organic and evolutionary perspectives.
