For over thirty years, this classic text has offered students a comprehensive overview of the economic aspects of growth and development which is clearly written without sacrificing rigour. The focus is on macroeconomic issues with unique chapters on the history of economic thought, project appraisal and input-output analysis and extensive material on growth theory and the growth process in developing countries. Mini case examples and numerous statistics support the theory, while discussion questions and weblinks encourage student reflection.
