	Overview of Bahá'í Social and Economic Development
		The earliest Bahá'í development projects were schools established by the Bahá'ís of Iran at the turn of the century in response to a stream of letters from `Abdu'l-Bahá extolling the importance of education, especially for women.
		Baha'i participation in social and economic development has grown rapidly in the past decade, and in some nations, Bahá'ís have made a visible contribution in rural education, in community health worker training, and in programs for the promotion of equality of the sexes and the elimination of prejudice.
		Compilations of Bahá'í scripture on the Bahá'í paradigm of social and economic development are Social and Economic Development (Mona Vale: Bahá'í Publications Australia, 1988) and Vick, Holly Hanson, Social and Economic Development: A Bahá'í Approach (Oxford: George Ronald, 1989), 134.

	Third World Economic Development, by Clive Crook: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and ...
		This shows, first, that the setbacks the developing countries encountered in the eighties—high interest rates, debt-servicing difficulties, falling export prices—were an aberration, and that the currently fashionable pessimism about their future is greatly overdone.
