Description and Table of Contents
Description
This revised and expanded edition of "Development and Underdevelopment" retains many of the selections that made the first edition so popular for classroom use, while adding new material to make it even more appealing. New material includes: studies that enable readers to trace levels of national development back to the beginning of the 19th century, and in some cases even earlier; income inequality data on more than twice the number of countries included in the first edition; coverage of important theoretical advances; and new work on the role of education in development. The book continues to feature short introductions to each reading, highlighting the significance of the selections.
