Development Economics: A Critical Introduction: Routledge Textbooks in Development Economics

Autor Shahrukh Rafi Khan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 noi 2019
Following the 2007–2009 financial and economic crises, there has been an unprecedented demand among economics students for an alternative approach, which offers a historical, institutional and multidisciplinary treatment of the discipline. Economic development lends itself ideally to meet this demand, yet most undergraduate textbooks do not reflect this.
This book will fill this gap, presenting all the core material needed to teach development economics in a one semester course, while also addressing the need for a new economics and offering flexibility to instructors. Rather than taking the typical approach of organizing by topic, the book uses theories and debates to guide its structure. This will allow students to see different perspectives on key development questions, and therefore to understand more fully the contested nature of many key areas of development economics.
The book can be used as a standalone textbook on development economics, or to accompany a more traditional text.

Recenzii

"The book offers a very easy and good read for beginners and the seminary questions at the end of each chapter represent a useful tool for academic tutors at university level."
- Mohammad Alsaghir, Markfield Institute of Higher Education, UK
"Dr. Shahrukh Khan's new textbook is a fantastic book for teachers and students trying to get into the field of development economics. [...] What sets this work apart is the centrality it places on covering all of the diversity in the field of development economics. From neo-Marxists to neo-liberals and everything in between, the book honors and critiques the value of each approach to understanding development. The book is easily read, engaging, and perfect for anyone looking to teach an intro to development class."
