Completely revised and updated, the latest edition of Leading Issues in Economic Development presents a more concise view of development economics, without sacrificing the variety of viewpoints and perspectives that have made previous editions so popular.

Most of the selections are new, new notes have been added and former notes revised, new comments are introduced to illuminate special topics, and new exhibits offer empirical illustrations.  Finally, throughout the Fifth Edition there is a concentration on fundamental analytical principles and empirical relationships.

The sixth edition of this widely used textbook for courses in the economics of development has been extensively revised to reflect new changes in the subject and new problems confronting the development community. The editor has culled the most insightful readings from a variety of sources and integrated them into a topical structure that includes his own explanatory sections. Providing a wide range of viewpoints not found in standard textbooks, the sections now include readings on new growth theory, new institutional economics and problems of imperfect information and incomplete markets, the environment, recent experience with policy reform, and political economy as related governance.

Now in its seventh edition, Leading Issues in Economic Development introduces a new co-author, James E. Rauch. Maintaining the unique structure that the book has established over the last 35 years, Rauch has revised and updated this seventh edition to strengthen the analytical and quantitative dimensions and to clarify contemporary and future problems of development policy. The co-authors integrate the most insightful materials in this wide-ranging field, offering students the opportunity to experience a variety of perspectives while helping them to keep sight of overarching themes. This edition adds two new chapters: "Income Distribution" and "Development and the Environment." It also now consolidates several chapters and increases the number of selections from leading professional journals. In this edition, both the selections and the authors' own overviews, notes, comments, and exhibits make greater use of empirical analysis as well as modern economic theory. In all, Leading Issues in Economic Development provides fresh and serious attention to the interplay between development experience, changing views of economists, and policy.
