Privatization In Bangladesh: Economic Transition In A Poor Country

Bangladesh, the world's poorest large country, has privatized more state-owned industries than any other developing nation. This policy-orientated study traces Bangladesh's economic fortunes in its British, Pakistani and independent periods. Around the theme of a traditional society coping with modernization, the study analyzes in depth the effects of inconsistent planning and evaluates both public and private sector performance. Concrete recommendations are made for donors, industry, and government.
