Economic Development

Each volume in this series includes a collection of authoritative essays from the New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics, selected by the Editors to illustrate the range and diversity of economic thought on a particular topic.

Economic Development is a subject that came into being only after World War II with the dawn of the postcolonial era and the growing disparities between north and south, rich and poor, developed and less developed countries. Those who wish to follow the lively debates that characterize this field will find no surer guide than the essays in this book.
