Todaro and Smith believe that development economics should foster a student's ability to understand real problems faced by developing countries. Unlike other texts, Economic Development , Ninth Edition, introduces economic models within the context of countries and issues, so that students learn to analyze and engage in ongoing policy debates. Praised for its even, balanced coverage, this text helps students to evaluate issues using the best available cross-sectional data, economic theory, and institutional and structural perspectives. Keeping pace with current data and events, the Ninth Edition includes the latest research in development as well as extensive country-specific examples of topics such as transition economics and urban policy.

Retaining its distinctive, problem-centred approach, this fourth edition of a successful and now standard text emphasizes the application of theory to real problems which confront Third World policy makers. There are new sections on such issues as: the economic crisis in sub-Saharan Africa; the implications of privatization; the debate between free traders and protectionists; and the impact of the debt crisis. Additional theoretical diagrams have been included and all the statistics, tables and further reading lists have been revised.

First published in 1967, Professor Bairoch’s Diagnostic de L’Evolution Economique du Tiers-Monde has gone into four editions, and has brought the author an international reputation. This English translation is, in effect, another edition based on the latest French text but incorporating much which is not to be found there. The statistical tables have been revised and expanded wherever possible to include figures up to the end of 1972; the bibliography has been specially adapted to include the literature on the subject in the English language; and two new chapters have been written: Chapter 8 on ‘Urbanization’ and Chapter 9 on ‘The labour force and employment’. It has been Professor Bairoch’s aim in this book to examine the development of under-developed countries (including China) during the present century and through the use of comparative statistics to formulate a diagnosis of their growth. His analysis includes, whenever relevant, a comparison between the present economic progress of Third World countries and that of the developed countries at the time of their ‘take off’. Special attention has also been given to China’s unique path of development. In the course of his research the author has elaborated several new series. The production of these new series and their integration with existing data make this book a valuable quantitative economic history of the Third World.

(Study Guide for International Economics)
Known most widely for seminal theoretical writings on the relationship between ruralurban migration and urban unemployment in less developed countries, I have also made significant contributions to research on urbanisation, population and development interactions, issues in the economics of education and the technology/employment fields. I am also internationally known for my leading textbooks on economic development, which have been used in over 40 countries and translated into five languages. My theory of migration first demonstrated the economic rationality of continued migration in the face of rising urban unemployment and inflexible urban wages.
An important policy implication of this model is that the creation of more urban jobs would probably worsen rather than relieve the urban unemployment problem (the socalled Todaro paradox’). This helped to reorient development theory and practice away from exclusive emphasis on industrialisation and towards putting greater emphasis on raising agricultural incomes and promoting rural development. It also underlined the powerful economic forces at work in causing the continued extraordinary growth rates of Third World cities.
