Sinopsis:

A World Without Agriculture: The Structural Transformation in Historical Perspective” by C. Peter Timmer offers a profound analysis of the economic and social transformations that occur as countries transition from agrarian to industrialized economies. Timmer examines the historical processes of structural transformation, where the labor force shifts from agriculture to manufacturing and services, leading to urbanization and economic growth. The book delves into the implications of these changes for agricultural productivity, rural livelihoods, and overall economic development. By using historical data and case studies from various countries, Timmer provides a comprehensive understanding of how structural transformation shapes economic landscapes.

Timmer also explores the policy implications of diminishing agricultural sectors in developing economies. He discusses the challenges and opportunities that arise from this transformation, such as the need for effective agricultural policies to ensure food security and the importance of investing in rural infrastructure and education. “A World Without Agriculture” underscores the critical role of agriculture in the early stages of economic development and highlights the necessity of managing the transition to avoid social and economic disparities. This book is an essential resource for policymakers, economists, and students interested in the dynamics of economic development and the pivotal role of agriculture in shaping modern economies.
