Recent observations in both the field and the clusters of the Magellanic Clouds suggest a higher mass loss rate during or at the end of the asymptotic giant branch phase than previously supposed. Recent theoretical investigations offer an explanation for the frequency of carbon stars in the Clouds, but a rich parameter space remains to be explored, before detailed agreement can be expected.
