Development and Underdevelopment by Mitchell A Seligson
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.
Praise for the previous editions:
"The selection of materials is excellent, and the brief introductions to each selection are deft and informativeImpressively, 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
