Dear ListServ Manager,

My earlier submission was listed under the title: "History of Econ in 
Development." Unfortunately, this is slightly off the mark. The topic 
we are interested in is not the history of econ in development per 
se, but the progression of the thinking on the role of 
commodities  in development.

While I have already received many useful comments and suggestions, I 
would be grateful if you could clarify this point.

Best,

Felix Vardy
