Opis

Featuring case studies and real world examples from Asia, Africa and Latin America, as well as the 'transition' economies of Eastern Europe, this book explores finance and developing countries, and the impact these have on poverty and globalization.

Recenzje

"While many authors have previously examined the causes of economic development, few have focused directly and extensively on its relationship with financial systems. Spratt takes this unique angle in his new book, which provides ample coverage of both theory and practice in the field of development finance. … a valuable reference for scholars and practitioners in this new emerging field. Highly recommended." – CHOICE (July 2009 Vol. 46) by H.A. Faruq, Xavier University
