520			_aCompletely revised and updated, Leading Issues in Economic Development, Fourth Edition, presents an ordered view of development economics-without sacrificing the variety of viewpoints and perspectives. With a broad range of theoretical, applied, and policy materials, it illuminates the critical issues that affect the development of poor countries and introduces students to current trends in the field. Most of the material is new to this edition, including readings that provide detailed coverage of the concepts of basic needs and human resources, the problems of external debt, and the issues of project appraisal. Throughout the text, students are introduced to new topical selections that deepen their understanding of fundamental economic principles and empirical relationships. Extensive editorial commentary emphasizes the thematic relations between the articles, raises key questions, and suggests further readings; and numerous charts, tables, and exhibits illustrate the text. The articles are written by leading development economists and include selections from government reports, international conferences, and research studies. Leading Issues in Economic Development, Fourth Edition, provides students with rare insights into the crucial issues affecting development economies.
