Deliberate Effort

The recent widespread interest in problems of economic development, particularly in areas of the world now marked off as "underdeveloped," has emphasized the necessity for further examining the relations between economic and cultural change. The present unorganized body of knowledge dealing with these problems seems to call for a deliberate effort at synthesis in order to arrive at general principles upon which policy and further study can be based. The Research Center in Economic Development and Cultural Change at the University of Chicago was established in an attempt to meet this need.
