Publisher Synopsis
"The Development Economics Reader, edited by Giorgio Secondi, offers a wonderful introduction to the great themes and debates of development economics. The subject is endlessly fascinating, important, and complex, and the Reader does justice to the richness of the field, and in a manner that is remarkably accessible for students without a technical background in economics. The Reader not only offers a judicious and balanced selection of important articles, but also provides a consistently high-quality introduction for each major theme, as well as review and discussion questions following each article and a valuable annotated list of further readings for each topic." Jeffrey D. Sachs Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University Special Advisor to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon "This is a comprehensive reader that presents a thorough yet non-technical overview of where the field stands. Highly recommended." Dani Rodrik Professor of International Political Economy, John F. Kennedy School of Governnment, Harvard University Author of One Economics, Many Recipes Read more...
