REFLECTIONS ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Michael P. Todaro’s pioneering work on economic development has been noted for its openness to new forms of analysis, fresh methods of perceiving economic behaviour and the consideration of the complex array of ‘non-economic’ variables that assume such significance in the economic life of developing nations.Reflections on Economic Development brings together a collection of Professor Todaro’s most significant essays focused on a wide range of topics in economic development including rural - urban migration, international legal and illegal migration, population growth, technological change, education, the environment and ethics. Insightful, informative and stimulating, this collection will be welcomed by all those interested in the broad contribution made by this leading development economist.
