The fifth edition of The Process of Economic Development offers a thorough and up-to-date treatment of development economics. It has been extensively revised throughout, reflecting the most recent developments in research and incorporating the latest empirical data, as well as key theoretical advances and many new topics. Praise for the 4th edition: 'The Process of Economic Development has been an excellent text and resource for development studies and economic development students for many years. The new fourth edition of this book continues to provide these important educational services in a relevant and scholarly manner, while effectively keeping up with the evolving research literatures of the field'- Kenneth A.Reinert, George Mason University, USA Praise for the 5th edition: 'Over the years development texts tend to narrowly focus on the latest fashion of economists which is currently and problematically focused on altering individual behavior through experimental trials. In contrast, James Cypher's volumes including his 5th edition focus on education not inculcation by drawing on the depth and richness of multiple paradigms and experiences to address the complex challenges of development.' - Howard Stein, Development Economist, Professor, Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, Dept. of Epidemiology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
