I would suggest supplementing this reading with Chang and Grabel's Reclaiming Development, which offers a clear alternative to the publications above. Other supplements would include Harvey's A Brief History of Neoliberalism and Klein's The Shock Doctrine.

Economic development in developing countries is a complex problem that will require serious attention and effort, rather than simplistic solutions or self-righteous justification for inaction.

“Rich nations have a grave moral responsibility toward those which are unable to ensure the means of their development by themselves or have been prevented from doing so by tragic historical events. It is a duty in solidarity and charity; it is also an obligation in justice if the prosperity of the rich nations has come from resources that have not been paid for fairly.

“Direct aid is an appropriate response to immediate, extraordinary needs caused by natural catastrophes, epidemics, and the like. But it does not suffice to repair the grave damage resulting from destitution or to provide a lasting solution to a country's needs. It is also necessary to reform international economic and financial institutions so that they will better promote equitable relationships with less advanced countries. The efforts of poor countries working for growth and liberation must be supported. This doctrine must be applied especially in the area of agricultural labor. Peasants, especially in the Third World, form the overwhelming majority of the poor.”
