About this product
Product Information
The fifth edition of this classic reader retains many of the articles that have made the book a must-assign for classes on development and political economy, but has been updated with 14 new chapters that look even more deeply at long-term factors that help to explain the origins and current trends in the gap between rich and poor. An entirely new section focuses on natural resource and environmental issues, and the appendix of wealth and inequality indicators has been fully revised. The editors' short introduction to each selection, highlighting its significance, remains a key feature of the book.

Reviews
Praise for the previous editions: "The selection of materials is excellent, and the brief introductions to each selection are deft and informative. Impressively, space has also been found for critiques of the most important positions...The book also provides a convenient and enjoyable review for those who may have followed the literature as it emerged." -Journal of Developing Areas "A very comprehensive and compelling set of articles on the subject of economic development and inequality...Provides a balanced view of the issues...Highly recommended." -Choice "One of the most comprehensive volumes yet produced on the causes of income inequality between and within countries...Seligson and Passé-Smith have compiled a brilliant selection of literature which is a must for anyone wishing to better understand the elusive concepts of development and underdevelopment." -Gareth Elliot, South African Journal of International Affairs

I am very pleased with the price of this new book (the lowest I found). I'm happy with the prompt shipping. The only problem was that the box was damaged during shipping. The new book itself sustained very minor cosmetic damage, no doubt from rough handling. The seller offered to send me a return label at no cost, which I do appreciate. However, I was able to repair the slight damage very easily. Thanks again for your concern.
