Mobilizing Money
This book examines the origins of modern corporate finance systems during the rapid industrialization period leading up to World War I. The study leads to three sets of conclusions. First, modern financial systems are rooted in the past, are idiosyncratic to specific countries, and are highly path-dependent. Second, financial institutions and markets do not create economic growth without significant first steps in industrial development and supporting institutions. Third, and most important from the modern policy standpoint, there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution to financial system design and industrial development.

An Information Theoretic Approach to Econometrics
Most econometric books do not recognize the ill-posed inverse nature of their econometric models and the indirect noisy characteristics of their sample data. This book focuses on these problems and provides a basis for dealing with estimation and inference issues that typically arise in a range of traditional and nontraditional econometric models.

Preference, Value, Choice, and Welfare
This book is about preferences, principally as they figure in economics. It clarifies and for the most part defends the way in which economists invoke preferences to explain, predict, and assess behavior and outcomes, although it criticizes attempts to define welfare in terms of preferences and to define preferences in terms of choices or self-interest.

Bangladesh
Since its hard-won independence from Pakistan in 1971, Bangladesh has been ravaged by economic and environmental disasters. Only recently has the country begun to emerge as a fragile, but functioning, parliamentary democracy, with an economy that has been consistently achieving growth. The story of Bangladesh, told through the pages of this concise and readable book, is a truly remarkable one. By delving into its past, and through an analysis of the economic, political and social changes that have taken place over the last twenty years, the book explains how Bangladesh is becoming of increasing interest to the international community as a portal into some of the key issues of our age. In this way the book offers an important corrective to the view of Bangladesh as a failed state.
