"The Arab Economies In A Changing World" by Marcus Noland and Howard Pack is designed to explain to American businessmen and economists about the problems associated with the economic under-performance, problematic internal politics, and externalization of domestic dissent in the Muslim world. Of special interest is the identification of changes to economic policy that would address the economic component of the challenges facing Muslim countries and communities today. "The Arab Economies In A Changing World" also provides a cogent and expert analysis on the interaction of trade with the Middle East, as well as such economic issues as productivity growth, and the political difficulties that affect the economic performance, growth and development of the Muslim populations in this region of the world. "The Arab Economies In A Changing World" is especially recommended reading with respect to transition economies and India documenting potentially successful polices and those policies likely to worsening existing problems. Enhanced with references and an index, "The Arab Economies In A Changing World" is very strongly recommended as an addition to academic, professional, corporate, and governmental agency Economic Studies and Middle Eastern Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
