'Macroeconomic policy is one of the most important area of development strategy. But until now we have lacked a guide to the macro-economics of developing countries. With the publication of the second edition of Raghav Jha's 'Macro-economics for Developing Countries', we now have an incisive and well-balanced view of some of the most urgent and important issues for facing the poorer world.' - Tony Addison, Deputy Director, World Institute for Development Economics Research, United Nations University
