My dissertation abstract on University of Pennsylvania, Penn Commons--

My Ph.D. dissertation abstract. On why some nations don't develop, specifically Burma, but I also touched on the former USSR, Chinese economic planning, India (disstn was accepted in 1994) and Zaire (former Congo)--basically it's an indictment against centralization and totalitarianism.
