[URPE] list of heterdox economic development textbooks

[Diplomacy Dialogue]

Dear Laura, hi all,

 

Thanks for this. One additional though important aspect: how about
instructor's guides adapted for different student groups? We do a lot of
work in developing countries with students of various levels of background.
Any suggestions as to what textbook and instructor's guidebook is most
adaptable to different student audiences?

Best regards, Raymond

Subject: [URPE] list of heterdox economic development textbooks

 

Hi!

Here is a list of all (I think I got all) heterodox economic development
texts recommended to me by URPE folks !...  (I would also add as additional
easy reading Perkins, John, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, and Sachs,
Jeffrey, The End of Poverty (on MDGs). My students were assigned both along
with Todaro and liked them alot - especially Perkins!) 

I have looked at Cypher and Dietz's book the Process of Econ Development
chapter 3 on history of LDCs and love it! 

Thank you very much for your response and  sorry if I failed to respond in
person to everyone but I got so many replies! 

Best
Laura
