Stephen Smith's Case Studies connects real economic development problems with theoretical concepts, and offers students an accessible and interesting presentation of material. Within each case, opposing viewpoints are presented in a balanced way, fueling student discussion and stimulating debate. Although it can be used with any economic development text, this supplemental text is an ideal companion to Michael Todaro's Economic Development, 7/e.
