出版社：

简介：An introduction to economic development, this textbook addresses the topic through an alternative perspective--instead of a theoretical presentation--that considers regions of the world, institutional structures, and the historical context of each region, from the pre- colonial and colonial eras to contemporary times. Grabowski (economics, Southern Illinois U.) et al. examine Europe, East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa, and economic systems transitioning from socialism to capitalism in Russia and China. The book is meant for undergraduate students in economic development without a background in economics. Annotation 漏2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
