An Introduction to Development Economics

This short, accessible introduction for non-specialists is an expanded and rewritten version of Elkan's classic text published by Penguin in 1974. The revised version has been thoroughly rewritten throughout to reflect the changing world order and recent academic advances. Alterations include a new chapter on foreign aid and structural adjustment and a new chapter on industrial policy to include the informal sector and small scale industry. The non-technical approach and easy writing style is ideal for non-specialists.
