Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Financing and External Debt of Developing Countries
OECD · 1992
55/100
👎 Skip It
Authoritative in its day, this OECD statistical reference now reads as a historical artifact — the numbers are three decades stale and the intended audience already has current sources. It earns its place in research libraries cataloging 1990s development finance but has no practical use for general readers.
