Series Details:
Development economics deals with the most fundamental problems of economics - poverty, famine, population growth, structural change, industrialization, debt, international finance, the relations between state and market, the gap between rich and poor countries. Partly because of this, its subject matter has fluctuated abruptly over time in response to political currents in a way which sometimes causes the main issues to be obscured; at the same time it is being constantly added to and modified in every developed and developing country. This series confronts these problems.
