Review:

"This welcome addition to development literature reviews the macroeconomic experiences of eighteen developing countries on four continents over the years 1974-89....A valuable reference for upper division and graduate students, scholars, and policy makers alike."--Choice

"An important book"--Martin Wolf, Financial Times

"This is and excellent book for both academics and policy-makers...well-motivated, informative and entertaining to read....I strongly recommend it not only to those who work in the areas of development economics and macroeconomics, but also to those who have only a peripheral interest in the areas."--The Southern Economic Journal
