"This thesis is an interpretation of development in Tonga, relating events to a model of primitive affluence. It sees development as the combination of two things: favorable conditions to earn market rewards (represented by production function), and a desire by the population to do so (represented by the demand for money or supply of labor)"--Abstract.
