Abstract
Giles Mohan, Ed Brown, Bob Milward and Alfred B. Zack-Williams, Structural Adjustment, Theory, practice and impacts, Routledge, London and New York, 2000, 215 pps, Price not mentioned. This book touches on almost each and every aspect of the extremely topical subject of structural adjustment, delving into the whys and wherefores, the rights and wrongs of the issue. Despite the somewhat technical nature of the subject, it reads more like a narrative. Yet because to my mind it is virtually a masterpiece and one of its kind, it should in fact be read in bits and pieces rather than in one go.
