Biographical Information
Eric Rahim studied at Forman Christian College, Lahore and University College London.

In the 1970s he moved sideways from the Department of Economics to the David Livingstone Institute of Development Studies where he was Director of the project on the choice of technique in developing countries. This project generated a seven-volume series of industry studies, published by the Scottish Academic Press, of which he was the General Director. During the late 1980s and early 90s Eric was a member of a team that produced the United National annual economic survey of Asia and the Pacific. He is a former Associate Editor of the Journal of Economic Studies.
Eric's current research interests include the history of economic theory and the theory of development. These interests are reflected in his recent paper 'Marx and Schumpeter: A Comparison of Their Theories of Development' (available as a Discussion Paper No. 06-01)
