Explanation:
THE WORLD IS DIVIDED into two groups of people: those who divide the
world into two groups of people, and those who don't. As I evidently
belong to the former, I believe that the nature of various divisions can
throw light on what has come to be known as the rise and decline of
development economics.
Albert Hirschman, in his stimulating contribution to the international
symposium on Latin America at Bar Ilan University in 1980,' used two
criteria for classifying development theories: whether they asserted or
rejected the claim of mutual benefits in North-South relations; and
whether they asserted or rejected the claim of monoeconomics that there is
a single economic discipline, applicable to all countries and at all times.
Using this classification, he derived four types of theories. Orthodox
(neoclassical) economics asserts both claims. Neo-Marxist and depen-
dence theories reject both claims. Development economists tend to reject
the monoeconomics claim-the reason for their existence calls for a
distinct subject-but to assert the mutual benefit claim, whereas paleo-
Marxists assert the monoeconomics claim (except insofar as class deter-
mines consciousness) but reject the mutual benefit thesis.
One may want to quibble with Hirschman's classification. Development
economists constitute a large group, many of whom would reject the
mutual benefit claim without regarding themselves as neo-Marxists or
dependence theorists. Others would assert the unity of economics, while
considering it legitimate to carve out special areas for development eco-
nomics, to which particular branches or modifications of the single disci-

The Politics-administration dichotomy is a theory that constructs the boundaries of public administration and asserts the normative relationship between elected officials and administrators in a democratic society.[1] The phrase politics-administration dichotomy itself does not appear to have a known inventor, even after exhaustive research, the combination of words that make up the phrase was first found in public administration literature from the 1940s with no clear originator. Woodrow Wilson is credited with the politics-administration dichotomy via his theories on public administration in his 1887 essay, "The Study of Administration". Wilson came up with a theory that politics and administration are inherently different and should be approached as such. Wilson wrote in his essay in regards to public administration
