Fantastic reference text!

I utilized this text while taking an Economic Develoment course as an undergraduate student. I am probably partial to the text as my Professor was a co-author. R.I.P Professor Bradshaw!

The best one available

I have purchased several books to use for the Economic Development class that I teach within a MPA program. This is the best book available for public administrators. Chapter 5, which is about "analytical techniques" is rather watered down. A couple of the chapters are getting a little outdated. Overall, this book provided a good general understanding of economic development.
