Overview

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 introduces economic models within the context of countries and issues, so that students learn to analyze and engage in the ongoing policy debates. Praised for its even, balanced coverage, the text helps students to evaluate issues using the best available cross-sectional data, economic theory, and institutional and structural perspectives. Keeping pace with current data and events, the Ninth Edition includes the latest research in development as well as extensive country-specific examples of topics such as transition economics and urban policy. - Reorganization from four parts to three provides a more streamlined sequencing for economic development courses. - All new country case studies target pertinent issues, such as Divergent Development: Pakistan and Bangladesh and Understanding a Development Miracle: China. Thoroughly updated and revised comparison case studies provide the most current illustrations of policy and its outcomes. major development organizations. - New research on rural development economics and the green revolution in Chapter 9. - Extended coverage of non-governmental organizations and how they compare with government and private sectors in Chapter 11, Political Economy and the Roles of Market. - Chapter 14 takes a critical look at the World Bank and the burden of debt.
