Economic development
"In this fourth edition of his textbook, E. Wayne Nafziger analyzes the economic development of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and East-Central Europe. The treatment is suitable for students who have taken a basic college course in the principles of economics. This comprehensive and clearly written text explains the growth in real income per person and income disparities within and among developing countries. The text is replete with real-world examples. The guide to the readings, through bibliography as well as Web sites with links to development resources, makes the book useful for students writing research papers."--BOOK JACKET
