'This book offers an overview of Mongolia's transition during the 1990s from a centrally planned to a market-based economy. It is recommended to anyone interested in learning more about the process of economic transition in Mongolia and the structure and state of the Mongolian economy. It is appropriate for students with a basic understanding of economics from the undergraduate level on up, and provides valuable statistics and descriptive information for academics, government officials or anyone interested in understanding Mongolia's economy up to the late-1990s. It is an important addition to the literature because it is one of the only comprehensive sources for descriptions and data covering the major economic sectors in Mongolia.'
