Excellent book.

The book was in old condition

this is the very first suggested text on development economics. this book enables the overall readings of development economics. most of the universities in India recommend it as a text book. this book is also useful in research activities.

The book I received (Development Economics by Debraj Ray) was in used condition: text is underlined with ink pen, and the cover is visibly worn and dirty. It was not mentioned anywhere in the product description that the book is not new.
Moreover, the price of this used book (Rs 500) was higher than the MRP (Rs 425, listed on the back cover). I was charged more for the used product than a new product is supposed to cost!
