Economic Development: An Individualistic Methodology

This paper establishes two theoretical frameworks in the study of economic development. These are constitutional analysis and interdisciplinary perspective. This study acknowledges that the economists are the ones to blame for lost of the underdevelopment in many parts of the world. These two theoretical frameworks are part of an individualistic methodology. The paper first, discusses individua...
