Broadcasting has long been considered one of the keys to modernization in the developing world. Able to leap the triple barrier of distance, illiteracy, and apathy, it was seen as a crucial clement in the development of new nations.

Broadcasting has also come under attack as serious questions have been raised about its uncritical importation of western culture. Now, in "Broadcasting in the Third World," Elihu Katz and George Wedell offer the first complete coverage of the problems and promises of broadcasting in the third world.

This work assembles comparable input-output tables for 1939, 1947, and 1958 along with auxiliary information on labor, capital, and final demand for 1939, 1947, 1958, and 1961--data that have not in the past been readily accessible to most students and business analysts. Graphic forms of presentation liberally supplement the basic tables. The study shows how technological change has affected industrial specialization, as well as direct primary inputs, and how these components of change are interrelated.
