Synopsis

Todaro and Smith believe that development economics should foster a student’s ability to understand real problems faced by developing countries. Unlike other texts, Economic Development, Ninth Edition, introduces economic models within the context of countries and issues, so that students learn to analyze and engage in ongoing policy debates.
