Economics 351 - History of Development Econ

'A topical coverage of development economics used in conventional textbooks does not do justice to the evolution of integrated thinking in the field. A topical organization also does not do justice to the topic linkages or to the important debates in the field. This course adopts a history of macro development economics thought approach with an emphasis on alternative approaches right up to the current debates. While the field started in the 1940s, the influence of classical economists including Marx on the pioneering development economists and the field will also be traced.'
