The fifth edition of this classic reader retains many of the articles that have made the book a must-assign for classes on development and political economy, but has been updated with 14 new chapters that look even more deeply at long-term factors that help to explain the origins and current trends in the gap between rich and poor. An entirely new section focuses on natural resource and environmental issues, and the appendix of wealth and inequality indicators has been fully revised. The editors’ short introduction to each selection, highlighting its significance, remains a key feature of the book.

"The selection of materials is excellent, and the brief introductions to each selection are deft and informative. Impressively, space has also been found for critiques of the most important positions ... The book also provides a convenient and enjoyable review for those who may have followed the literature as it emerged." - Journal of Developing Areas * "Provides an overview of the debate over the causes and dynamics of the persistent and even widening income gap between rich and poor countries and the rich and poor within the poor countries." - Canadian Journal of Political Science * "This high-quality collection ... deals in a balanced way both with internal and international inequality ... Advanced under-graduates and graduate students in international politics, economics, and diplomacy can fruitfully use them." - Choice
