These essays detail, among many stories of development in the 1990s, how China and India lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, while Russia collapsed; how Bosnia and Herzegovina and Mozambique remade their war-ravaged economies; and how Thailand, Turkey, and Argentina fell into financial crisis. These remarkable stories, told in first-person by the country directors who were there to witness them, provide candid assessments of development in the 1990s - what succeeded, what failed, and what lessons emerged."--Jacket  aEconomics10aPugatch, Todd  2ddc  00102ddc406330_090490000000000_GIL7091868aLPLbLPLcBKd2024-01-15l0o330.09049 GILp12535r2024-01-15 13:22:41w2024-01-15yBK  c1187d1187
