Excellent Economics Reference Book

Well written by university professors from around the world, this 4 volume set is well organized and has the following sections for each country: Country Overview; Overview of the Economy; Politics, Government, and Taxation; Infrastructure, Power, and Communications; Economic Sectors; Agriculture; Industry; Services; International Trade; Money; Poverty and Wealth; Working Conditions; Country History and Economic Development; Future Trends. It has charts, graphs and maps to help outline such things as GDP Composition by Sector and Labor Force breakdown, GDP per Capita, Exchange rates, etc. Highly recommended for someone who wants to learn about the economies of the world. Would have appreciated a 5th volume that compared the economies of the world using charts and graphs.
