5.0 out of 5 stars most comprehensive review of the Bangladesg economy, May 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Bangladesh Economy in Transition (Hardcover)

First, the volume represents a collection of essays by the leading economists of the country and not by a single author! Second, the editor , as the customer seems to imply by the term "author", has never worked for the government of Bangladesh under any capacity under any regime!!Third, the book is the most comprehensive and objective assessment of the economy of Bangladesh todate and this is widely corroborated by a large number of book reviews that have appeared in scholarly economic journals.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete Information., January 11, 1999

This review is from: The Bangladesh Economy in Transition (Hardcover)

The informatioon and statistics in this book is incomplete. It is primarily a projection of the writer's bureaucratic experience with the Ershad dictatorial regime in Bangladesh.

1.0 out of 5 stars Filled with Incomplete Information. Not comprehensive., January 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Bangladesh Economy in Transition (Hardcover)

The author seems to provide lots of inaccurate and incomplete information in his study of Bangladesh. He occassionally presents unupdated information in an overall inconsistent story which is basically the prose of the author's bureaucratic experience in that country, particularly his years with the corrupt dictator of Bangladesh, Hussain Muhammad Ershad. Not Recommended to readers. For a more up-to-date work, Rehman Sobahan's World Bank Series titles are recommended.
