Dear Sergio,

an interesting read may be:  Gerald Meier's "Biography of a Subject - An Evolution of Development Economics", OUP (2005). This is mostly about the development of Development economics as a field of study in economics, but it may still be quite useful.

Best wishes,

Pedro

Assunto: [SHOE] The Idea of Development

Dear all,

I'm wondering if any of you can point me to something recent about the origin of the idea of economic development. I have read H.W. Arndt´s The History of an Idea (1987) and a very interesting collection of papers edited by Frederick Cooper and Randal Packard called International Development and the Social Sciences (1997) But I´d like to know if there is anything more recent that any of you can recommend. Thanks in advance for any help.

Sergio
