An Introduction to Development Economics
Seller: Chapter Two Books, Ammanford, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. An Introduction to Development Economics by Walter Elkan is a clear, compact survey of the forces shaping economic development, written with the directness and practicality typical of mid-century development studies. Elkan outlines the structural challenges faced by low-income countries â" population growth, capital shortages, trade constraints, education, industrialisation, and institutional capacity â" while examining the policy debates that defined the field as it emerged after WWII. Balanced, accessible, and grounded in real-world examples rather than abstract modelling, it remains a useful snapshot of early development-economics thinking and a solid collectible for readers interested in the evolution of economic policy in the post-colonial era.
