Synopsis

The objective of this book is to present a new kind of course book that will bring order to the diffuse subject of economic development without sacrificing a variety of viewpoints and different perspectives. In this updated fourth edition the majority of the material and readings are new. Even more emphasis has been placed on the interrelatedness of the readings and the pedagogical apparatus has been reworked. Contents include: surplus labour and dualistic development; mobilizing foreign resources; industrialization strategy; project appraisal; development planning and policy making; and others. Courses in development economics; aid agencies and staff; government planners in developing countries.
