‘Witheringly critical of dogmatic World Bank and IMF beliefs that state intervention as such is likely to reduce economic welfare ... The strength of the book is its thoroughly empirical foundation’ – Journal of Southern African Studies
‘Sender and Smith have provided much to argue about and their book can be recommended as a lively treatment of its subject and not least for its caustic rebukes to the faint-hearted.
