520 _aThis book is a sequel to the eighth edition of Growth and Development: with Special Reference to Developing Economies published in 2006. Since the first edition of the book was published in 1972, it has been widely used as a text for courses in economic growth and development in both developed and developing countries, and has been translated into Greek and Chinese. This new "edition' and new format of the book has given me the opportunity to substantially revise the content of the book, adding new chapters, updating statistics, and rewriting chapters to include new theoretical ideas and institutional material in order to improve the exposition to aid students and teachers alike. But the purpose of the book remains the same: to introduce students to the exciting and challenging subject of development economics, which draws on several branches of economics in order to elucidate and understand the development difficulties facing the economies of the world's poor countries. This does not mean that the book provides a recipe or blueprint for development: far from it. There can be no general recipes of this nature, and even if there were, they would have to include more than economic ingredients.
