Intended for undergraduate students in development studies, this volume is dedicated to providing an in-depth, but accessible introduction to the economic concepts behind issues in
international development. It has more of a focus on poverty, inequality and population growth than a typical economics text and ideally students will come away with an understanding of the
basic economic concepts underlying development, and an awareness that there are fundamental theoretical and ideological disagreements among economists. Each chapter ends with a point-by-point
summary and questions for discussion. Tribe is a development economist and honorary secretary of the UK and Ireland Development Studies Association. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland,
