Summary "Development Economics is arguably the most important field with economics. Charged with analysing and criticising the way economics develop and grow, development economists play a vital role in attempting to reduce inequality across the world. The fourth edition of this textbook introduces students to this vital field." "All of the popular aspects of earlier editions are retained with new additions such as the introduction of endogenous growth theory and a new chapter on structural adjustment and growth. Defined, this is growth that occurs from within the economy, which is reliant on improvements in education, health, trade and technology." "With vastly improved and updated pedagogical features such as new topical case studies and questions for discussion, Subrata Ghatak introduces what can be a difficult subject with a welcome clarity."--BOOK JACKET
