The Process of Economic Development

The fifth edition of The Process of Economic Development offers a thorough and up-to-date treatment of development economics. It has been extensively revised throughout, reflecting the most recent developments in research and incorporating the latest empirical data, as well as key theoretical advances and many new topics. The world has seen vast economic growth in China, economic transformation in India, new challenges in Latin America, rapid economic progress in Southeast Asia, and the deepening impact of environmental issues such as climate change. This new edition addresses all these critical issues as well as the pivotal role of the state, where China’s capacity is contrasted with that of African states. 
Transnational corporations’ reliance on low-wage manufacturing and labor arbitrage is featured in the book. Agricultural policy―extensively explored―remains crucial, as does the promotion of industrialization. This fifth edition offers a ‘state-of-the-art’ analysis of these essential themes and many others. Numerous case studies and issue focuses have been integrated with sundry central topics. Neoclassical theories and applications, including a timely exploration of behavioral economics, are both rigorously and accessibly explicated. 
Cypher’s comprehensive account remains the development economics text par excellence, as it takes a much more practical, hands-on view of the issues facing the developing countries than other, overly mathematical texts. This book is unique in its scope and in the detailed attention it gives to a vast range of ideas, including pioneering developmentalist and heterodox formulations. Distinct institutional structures are examined within their historical contexts. 
This landmark text will continue to be an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and researchers in the fields of development economics and development studies.

For the past twenty-eight years I have traveled to and periodically lived in Mexico. As an extranjero I have enjoyed the advantage of association with nearly every social strata-from descamisados in ciudades perdidas to members of the elite. These have been my maestros, and I owe them a great deal.
