Publisher Comments

"Essentials of Development Economics emphasizes the substantive overand#160;the technical, presenting a broad overview of key topics in languageand#160;that is accessible to students who have a limited background in economicsand#160;and mathematics. I have been looking for a book like this for years."

and#151;Aashish Mehta, Associate Professor of Global and International Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara

"The strength of this book is that it takes old, recent, and new topics and combines them into a very concise reader that is informative and interesting. Other books are too big, too old, or too dry. This book is none of these. It's extremely student-friendly."
