this book made me cry as an undergrad. yes it did, and on multiple occasions. consequently, i decided i was an english major, and now i am an english phd student. so in other words, if i never obtain legitimate employment, it will be todaro and smith's fault.

Rating this book is a dilemma for me. I actually liked it because it is really good at what it covers, but what it covers is seriously flawed. This is not a book about development. It is about misery and dealing with symptoms of backwardness and poverty, not its causes or the process of development. This shortcoming is most obvious in the complete lack of a discussion of industrialization - although very few countries can hope to develop without industrialization.

The most unnecessarily verbose text on economics I have yet encountered, this book could easily have been reduced to one third or one fourth of its length. The author attempts to explain mathematical concepts without any mathematical terms and often ends up dragging on for several pages without coming to any semblance succinct conclusion.
Additionally, Todaro often fails to properly argue many of his points, instead 'briefly summarizing' (if 7 pages could ever be considered brief) with lengthy, w...more

The first piece of economics I remember actually understanding, probably because it got under my guard by being undeniably, obviously about matters of life and death, hope and justice, and what's around the corner, and how maths can help.
(Specifically Todaro's own model of urban migration.)

This book took me One year! But it gives one a perspective of Development that is much required. It's not that it's sufficient but it's definitely necessary.

Perhaps, readers from the developed world would find the text as sappy and melodramatic. I can't blame them. The text was originally entitled as Economic Development in the Third World, so expect a lot of heart wrenching stories!

I used the free e-book version of this text for one of my political science classes. I have to admit that I didn't read it all the way through. I just read the chapters assigned by the professor. It was fairly boring to be honest. If statistics and what-not is your thing, you will probably enjoy it a lot more than I did. I just couldn't get interested enough to read the entire thing on my own.

Refreshing if you're used to neoliberal texts. It is a bit sappy, but sweet and seems like it was written by a sane human, which cannot really be said of any other Econ textbook out there. Also, Todaro is a development Econ badass.
Todaro is an undisputed master on Economic Development. He has extensive experience in the field and genuine analyses are employed. His book on the subject is considered to be an authority and it is a real honor for me to have read such a good book.
