Successive editions of Tony Thirlwall's textbook on the economics of development have become classic guides to the subject – comprehensive, clear and dispassionate. This updated edition is again outstanding, an essential contemporary introduction to the topic.

Frances Stewart, University of Oxford, UK

The first edition of this classic text was in 1972, now in 2017 we have a tenth edition. No scholarly work survives for almost half a century without continuing to be current, relevant and authoritative; a considerable task in our fast changing world. Edition number 10 does not disappoint, and will continue to be of great value to current generations of students interested in the economics of development. It is stimulating, informative and comprehensive; as with previous editions, it also maintains rigour whilst continuing to be accessible.

Sir David Greenaway, University of Nottingham, UK

45 years after its first release the latest edition of this classic textbook is still setting standards. It is an absolute must for all students and lecturers of economic development.

Ralf Fendel, WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management, Germany

A wonderful and accessible textbook that covers, once again, the hot topics of economic development and inequality in its full breadth; from health and population to finance and international trade.

Joris Knoben, Radboud University, The Netherlands

Economics of Development is by far the best undergraduate textbook in development economics. The new edition expands coverage of the material to include important and relevant topics such as the Sustainable Development Goals, multidimensional poverty, health and nutrition, microcredit, climate change and randomised control trials, and should be an essential reference for students and scholars alike.
