In general terms, a developed country is one that is able to provide its citizens with a level of goods and services roughly equivalant to highest level of goods and service avaulable in any other country at that point in time. Indexes of development range from per capita income to various rations of fuel consumption, roads, telephones, television sets, schools, teachers, students, literacy, and death. Until the commercial production of oil in 1959 , Libya ranked at the bottom of everyone's development scale, regardless of the indicators employed .
The objectives of this book are (1)todelineate the problems Libya's modernizating leaders must overcome if they are to achieve their goals of rapid political and economic modernization, (2) to describe and assess their efforts to overcome these develomental problems, and (3) to chart the course that remains if the elusive goal of modernization is to be attained.
