'This is a masterful textbook on development. It extensively discusses the root causes of development, and more recent topics such as randomized controlled trials. The book stands out by also providing a rich discussion of 'international' issues relevant for development, such as globalization, international trade, migration, and international financial flows.' Robert Lensink, University of Groningen
'A splendid new textbook by van Marrewijk and Brakman! Their lucid exposition is wide ranging, deeply informed and up to date. The student will acquire a broad knowledge of developing and emerging economies and, more importantly, understand the data, theories, and methods that inform the authors' insights.' Donald Davis, Columbia University
'This excellent new textbook on development economics is up to date in its coverage of research - history, data, and theories. It explains difficult concepts simply and clearly. The visual presentation - figures, charts, and use of color - is outstanding. It is balanced and thoughtful in its assessment of the issues and policies. A treasure for students and teachers alike.' Avinash Dixit, Princeton University
'[This] textbook is a well-structured and informative book that provides a thorough analysis of economic issues in the developing world. The book provides a comprehensive overview of economic theories and practical case studies related to developing economies. It serves as a useful resource for understanding economic policies and challenges in both developing and emerging markets. It is highly relevant for students as well as teachers, policy-makers and business professionals seeking to understand the issues and the complexities involved in managing development challenges in the developing world. I highly recommend the book.' Ligang Song, Economic Record
