And why has the growth been so lopsided that the sustainability of the development process has been jeopardized?" "The book also presents an agenda for policy and institutional reform which would help to restore rapid growth, put the country's finances on a sound footing, and, above all, ensure a better distribution of growth benefits to all segments of the population."--BOOK JACKET
