Customer Reviews

concise and without the usual political rethoric

Not much to say in the face of facts, just watch, understand and learn. Certainly, it may not get 5 stars as a coffee table showoff book. But if you are not getting the book for idle reasons, but because you need to know, in order to make decisions, it does deserve its 5 stars. If you expend the time to understand what the information presented means, you get access to information that would be limited to large multinational corporations and governments without the worldbank publishing these books.
