"Bill Orr has produced a handy compendium of statistics, with
cogent explanations, on the world economy in the 1990s. National
incomes, output, trade, asset markets, debt, foreign aid and
population are presented by nation, region and level of
development. As a tool, it belongs in the office, study, or
newsroom next to the dictionary, and the atlas."
--Charles P. Kindleberger, Professor of Economics, Emeritus
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The Global Economy in the 90s provides a broad statistical guide
for all of us in an era of increasing international
interdependence: a much-needed contribution.
--Alfred J. Malabre, Jr., author of "Within Our Means"
"Talk about timely Like a light in the dark swamp of geo-
political-governmental charts, graphs, and tables. Orr] is there
standing over your shoulder, showing you how he interprets each and
every graph, and before you know it, you've got your calculator
out, and you start to see things that you never saw before. It's
addictive. No boring textbook, this book is a masterfully navigated
experience through a very confusing jungle. Orr has taken the
statistics from dozens of sources and recast them into graphs that
are so easy to read. Try it yourself, open the book anywhere. This
is a real gem."
