Alexander Kondonassis, a 1952 graduate of DePauw University, has authored Global Economic Development: The Evolution of Theory and Practice

The book "illuminates global economic development in a fresh, concise and clear manner," according to a synopsis.  It "is centered on three main elements in understanding the principles of economic development: the meaning and measurement of development, the driving forces behind development, and an analysis of the effects and remedies."
