Recenzje

"It is a valuable collection, as the country and individual experiences that are described here will remain historical lessons for future generations. The present generation will learn valuable but hard lessons from this experience, and from which future societies will learn even more. Hence, discussions about the present crisis caused by the pandemic are very relevant. This book can be seen as an important addition to the limited but growing literature on the subject." (Jandhyala B G Tilak, The Developing Economies, March 10, 2023)
