Review

The studies in Structural Adjustment and the Working Poor in Zimbabwe lend support to the thesis that SAPs as instruments to promote long-term and sustainable economic growth leave a lot to be desired. The failure of the World Bank to take account of the human and social consequences has been one of the greatest flaws of structural adjustment driven by monetarist economic policies. - Carol J. Riphenburg, The Journal of Modern African Studies
