'Ikram examines the long-term structural aspects of Egypt’s economy and of economic policy-making from 1952 to 2000. He first presents separate chronological accounts of economic development and policy making on the one hand and growth, productivity, and structural change on the other. He then presents individual chapters focused on balance of payments, foreign exchange, and other aspects of the external sector; public finances; the financial sector and monetary policy; labor force and employment; and poverty and income distribution. He concludes with an analysis of current strategic and institutional issue.' - Reference & Research Book News
