description: E. Wayne Nafziger updates the economic development of Asia Africa Latin America and East-Central Europe in this fourth edition. Nafziger explains the reasons for the fast growth of Pacific Rim countries Brazil Poland and (recently) India and the increasing economic misery and degradation of large parts of sub-Saharan Africa. He also examines China and other post-socialist economies as low- and middle-income countries without however overshadowing a primary focus on the third world. Nafziger's text is filled with real-world examples--emphasizing the themes of poverty inequality unemployment the environment and deficiencies of people in less developed countries.
