A collection of essays written by H.W. Arndt, over a 50 year period, that cover a broad range of his work, from analytical issues in monetary and fiscal theory to political economy. The earlier essays should appeal to those interested in the history of economic thought whilst the more recent essays deal with issues such as economic globalization.

The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to the United Nations Draft International Code of Conduct on the Transfer of Technology (TOT-Code). This introductory approach does not, of necessity, offer complete coverage of all legal aspects of the TOT-Code. As the TOT-Code is not yet in force, a commentary on all its provisions is not, at this moment, feasible. On the other hand, any presentation of the TOT-Code requires a discussion of questions underlying the legal and economical philosophy of Third World development. This is done with regard to the fact that the TOT-Code is a paradigm of the New International Economic Order, one of the main policy objectives of the United Nations Organization. One result of this discussion will be the qualification of antitrust, properly defined, as an instrument of economic steering in international affairs. Another result will be the call for respect for the subjective right as an indispensable instrument of international economic development.

After writing The Economic Lessons of the Nineteen-Thirties during World War II, guided by Paul Rosenstein-Rodan, I taught macroeconomics and wrote about some issues in international
monetary theory and policy. In Australia, I concentrated for some years on studies of the Australian banking system and capital market. Increasing interest in economic development problems, reinforced by a spell in India, led to almost twenty years of specialisation on development issues in SE Asia, especially Indonesia.
But some work, both theoretical and applied, went on side by side on domestic and international macroeconomics. In recent years, a major interest has been the history of thought about the ends of economic policy, changing emphasis on economic growth in DCs, and changing meanings of ‘development’ for and in LDCs.
