Description
This book provides a comprehensive, systematic treatise on development economics, combining classical political economy, modern institutional theory, and current development issues. It addresses one basic question: Why has a small set of countries achieved a high level of affluence while the majority remains poor and stagnant? This fully revised and updated third edition also incorporates analyses of several recent changes and newly emerged problems relevant to the global economy.
Reviews / Votes
Excellent texts on development economics, which offer alternative approaches to the study of this important and growing branch of economics. Lecturers will want to find room on their reading lists in the next academic year. * Nigel Grimwade, London South Bank University. *More details
