      ABSTRACT

      Drawing together recent changes in the debates with the history of the subject, The Process of Economic Development is a textbook with a story to tell. A discussion of recent events is integral to the book, with discussions ranging from
      * the environment
      * the debt crisis
      * export led industrialization
      * import substitution industrialization
      * growth theory and technological capability
      The book has an accessible style and format. Plentiful diagrams, boxed summaries, and end of chapter questions help the reader to grasp many-faceted topics.
      Coverage includes Latin America, Africa and Asia giving students a uniquely balanced world picture.
