P. T. Bauer

À propos de l'auteur

P. T. Bauer was an influential economist known for his work in development economics and his critical views on economic policies in developing countries. His research emphasized the importance of market mechanisms and competition in fostering economic growth, particularly in the context of West Africa and India. Through his seminal works, such as "West African Trade: A Study of Competition, Oligopoly and Monopoly in a Changing Economy," Bauer challenged prevailing notions about state intervention in economies and advocated for a more liberal approach to economic development.

Bauer's contributions extended beyond theoretical discourse; he actively engaged in policy discussions, influencing both scholars and policymakers. His perspectives on Indian economic policy were particularly impactful, as he argued for a pragmatic approach that recognized the unique challenges faced by developing nations. By analyzing economic structures and market behaviors, Bauer provided insights that remain relevant in contemporary discussions about economic development and globalization.
