The Political Economy of Development (The International Library of Critical Writings in Economics series, 140)

This three-volume set collects key previously published articles in the field of development economics, covering alternative approaches and going beyond the boundaries of economics narrowly defined. Some of the included papers are classic contributions, some are authoritative survey articles and others are interesting new contributions. The collection covers such topics as: underdevelopment, growth and income distribution; resources in development; sectoral issues; open economy issues; and economic policies and institutions. The final section offers appraisals of the present state and future evolution of development economics.
