Long‐term transformations in Pacific island economies are analyzed in the perspective of
their colonial experiences. Specifically, the modern political economy of Ponape, in the
Caroline Islands, is compared with typical peasant economies. It is argued that historical
changes in the Pacific do not necessarily produce the peasantlike societies frequently
assumed to exist there and that development programs must take these conditions into
account when planning for the area.
