Economic Development in the Third World

Résumé du livre

New to this edition is an introductory section in chapter three on theories of development. Other new sections treat such topics as the debt problem and IMF stabilization policies, the economic impact of rising military expenditures, women and development, the role of Central Banks, and the recently rejoined public debate over the relative merits of free markets versus government intervention as a stimulus to development. Virtually every statistical table and figure has been updated as have all corresponding textual statistics. The end of chapter reading sections have been thoroughly revised as has the thematic bibliography.
