Todaro and Smith, Economic Development 11/e
====================
Accessible theory, relevant policy issues, and the latest data and research
Economic Development, presents the latest thinking in economic development with the clear and comprehensive approach that has been so well received in previous editions.
‘The pace and scope of economic development continues its rapid, uneven, and sometimes-unexpected evolution. This text explains the unprecedented progress that has been made in the developing world – but fully confronts the enormous problems and challenges that remain to be addressed in the years ahead. The text shows the wide diversity across the developing world, and the differing positions in the global economy held by developing countries. The principles of development economics are key to understanding how we got to where we are, why many development problems are so difficult to solve, and the design of economic development policy and programs as we look ahead’. [From the preface]

-Paul Mosley University of Sheffield.
