Dudley Seers

Dudley Seers, 1920-

Lucreaza in Sussex, dar este format si relationat cu Cambridge. Interesat in teoria dezvoltarii economice, subliniaza in opera sa necesitatea unei dezvoltari sociale. Considera ca economia conventionala este inaplicabila in lumea a treia. In concret critica utilizarea conceptelor occidentale cum sunt "somajul", ce sunt lipsite complet de sens in descoperirea si analiza tarilor subdezvoltate.

Acestea au fost cuvintele sale

Astfel, ceea ce trebuie intrebat in ceea ce priveste dezvoltarea unei tari este: Ce s-a intamplat cu saracia, cu somajul, cu inegalitatile? Daca cei trei atingeau inainte nivele ridicate si s-au diminuat acum, putem afirma fara a lasa loc la indoieli ca a existat un proces de dezvoltare in tara discutata. Dar daca unul sau doua din aceste probleme fundamentale s-au inrautatit si in plus daca au fost toate trei impreuna, nu putem numi acest proces "dezvoltare", chiar daca venitul pér-cápita s-a multiplicat cu doi.
