Answer to Question 1

The basic point here is that Lewis is addressing structural change, rather than the rate of growth, and starts with a characterization of a poor country rather than an abstract economy. The insights derive from addressing the peculiarities of subsistence and modern sectors, and the problems of transition of a population from one to the other.
