| Abstract: | Aim of the author is to show that simple welfare criteria may well have more relevance and applicability in the Rhodesian case than in the case of other, more developed, economies. The author begins by offering a sketchy outline of the development of welfare criteria, and then, without quantification, he tries to show how the specific distributional patterns and growth paths of incomes in Rhodesia may make the establishment of economically based welfare criteria somewhat more feasible than would normally be the case.
