Trade Review"Anne Krueger has assembled and deftly summarized an excellent set of papers on the major issues in economic reform in developing countries at the turn of the century." - Stanley Fischer, International Monetary Fund "Anne Krueger, a world-class economist, has been both prolific and profound in her own writings, but her Schumpeterian activities in organizing superb conference volumes with important themes have also been notable. This volume on economic reform, still an overriding agenda for developing countries, is the latest of her triumphs." - Jagdish Bhagwati, editor of The Economics of Preferential Trade Agreements
