Institutions and Economic Development: Growth and Governance in Less-Developed and Post-Socialist Countries (The Johns Hopkins Studies in Development)

Rating:
Summary: Add this to your Economic Development course syllabus.
Review: This is a wonderful book. Clague et al cover all the bases on insitutions that foster economic growth.

This book is written well; it is laid out well; its premises and conclusions make good economic sense. Additionally, footnotes and references are easy to find, works discussed are cited in the text, and much of the information in the book offers tools for spinoff independent research by students.

This is a book that students will greatly enjoy reading and instructors will enjoy working with. For the non-student, a basic "economic literacy" is all that is needed to benefit from Clague et al's wonderful book.
