Privatizing Public Lands
ISBN: 9780195089721 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

A free market, they claim, directs privately owned resources to their most productive uses, and privatizing public...

Pro-Poor Growth and Governance in South Asia : Decentralization and Participatory Development
ISBN: 9780761997986 / Angielski / Twarda / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
