E. Wayne Nafziger analyzes the economic development of Asia, Africa,
Latin America, and East-Central Europe. This book is suitable for
those with a background in economics principles. Nafziger explains
the reasons for the recent fast growth of India, Poland, Brazil, China,
and other Pacific Rim countries and the slow, yet essential, growth
for a turnaround of sub-Saharan Africa. The fifth edition of the text,
written by a scholar of developing countries, is replete with realworld
examples and up-to-date information. Nafziger discusses
poverty, income inequality, hunger, unemployment, the environment
and carbon-dioxide emissions, and the widening gap between rich
(including middle-income) and poor countries. Other new components
include the rise and fall of models based on Russia, Japan,
China/Taiwan/Korea, and North America; randomized experiments
to assess aid; an exploration of whether information technology and
mobile phones can provide poor countries with a shortcut to prosperity;
and a discussion of how worldwide financial crises, debt, and trade
and capital markets affect developing countries.
