The Development Reader

Beschreibung

The Development Reader brings together a set of key readings that explore the changing ways that ideas of development are understood, contested and put into practice. Adam Smith and Karl Marx meet, among others, Robert Wade, Amartya Sen and Jeffrey Sachs, and section and individual extract introductions guide students through the material and bind the readings into a coherent whole.
