In this extensively revised seventh edition, all statistics have been updated and new institutional material has been added. In addition there are new sections on the meaning and consequences of globalization, the World Bank's approach to tackling poverty, the impact of aid, trade liberalization and growth, and exchange rates for developing countries.
