The study of development in low-income countries is attracting more attention around the world than ever before Yet until now there has been no comprehensive text that incorporates the huge strides made in the subject over the past decade Development Economics does precisely that in a clear, rigorous, and elegant fashion Debraj Ray, one of the ожлма most accomplished theorists in development economics today, presents in this book a synthesis of recent and older literature in the field and raises important questions that will help to set the agenda for future research He covers such vital subjects as theories of economic growth, economic inequality, poverty and undernutrition, population growth, trade policy, and the markets for land, labor, and credit A common point of view underlies the treatment of these subjects: that much of the development process can be understood by studying factors that impede the efficient and equitable functioning of markets Diverse topics such as the new growth theory, moral hazard in land contracts, information-based theories of credit markets, and the macroeconomic implications of economic inequality come under this common methodological umbrella The book takes the position that there is no single cause for economic progress, but that a combination of factors--among them the improvement of physical and human capital, the reduction of inequality, and institutions that enable the background flow of information essential to market performance--consistently favor development Ray supports his arguments throughout with examples from around the world The book assumes a knowledge of only introductory economics and explains sophisticated concepts in simple, direct language, keeping the use of mathematics to a minimum Development Economics will be the definitive textbook in this subject for years to come It will prove useful to researchers by showing intriguing connections among a wide variety of subjects that are rarely discussed together in the same book And it will be an important resource for policy-makers, who increasingly find themselves dealing with complex issues of growth, inequality, poverty, and social welfare.  ISBN 0691017069.

During the media frenzy over the Millennium celebrations, there was little mention of the fact that, for the majority of the world, there was no Millennium at all This linear understanding of time is a specifically Western - and Christian - concept This is just one example of the homogenization of knowledge that Vinay Lal uses to demonstrate that ожлоъ nearly every idea which we take for granted in the west is part of a politics of ideas Oppression is usually associated with class struggle, military power, and other forms of economic monopoly Lal looks beyond this, deconstructing the cultural assumptions that have emerged alongside capitalism, to offer a devastating critique of the politics of knowledge at the heart of all powerbroking Other topics examined are the concept of "development", which has created a generally accepted hierarchy of "developed" and "developing" countries, providing a mandate for surreptitious colonization; and the idea of the 'nation state', something we have lived with for no more than two centuries, yet is accepted without question Linking this to the emergence of 'international governance' through the United Nations, the US, and imperial economic bodies (such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization), Lal explains how such universalisms came to dominate the trajectory of Western thought "No More Requiems" is an impassioned account of the need to move towards an emancipatory politics of plurality and democracy that reveals which competing categories of knowledge can claim our allegiance for the future.  ISBN 0745317367.

Development has alleviated poverty in many countries during the 50 years since the end of World War II, yet half of mankind remains poor; a fifth are very poor Poverty is not a state of nature, but, as Stepanek shows, can be ascribed to manmade institutions that reflect self-serving and self-indulgent ideologies, poorly tested theories and policies, ожлмс weak governments, and poverty alleviation programs that are questionably designed and poorly administered Dr Stepanek asserts that poverty cannot be alleviated without challenging all of its root causes, and he shows that well-designed development strategies and foreign assistance programs can create growth and reduce poverty Western governments, international banks, and donor agencies must reexamine how they design and administer aid in general and in specific, in history and theory, and in its present and practical forms.  ISBN 0275965058.
