I. R. Rodan
II. H.W. Singer
III. A.O. Hirschman Who among the above support the unbalanced growth approach to development ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Itagaki's contemporary 1961 research, p. 4, documents Singer's argument that Nurkse's balanced-growth prescription is premature at the initial development deadlock, citing Singer's 1960 chapter, pp. 71–86, especially 79 and 81. The same discussion sets out Hirschman's deliberate strategic imbalance and contrasts coordinated balanced expansion. Thus Singer and Hirschman, II and III (D), form the conventional unbalanced-growth grouping; Singer's acceptance of later sustained balance does not change that initial-strategy classification.
