02 Wadan Narsey books

As part of my contribution towards community education in Fiji, I am personally publishing books which bring together my writings on Fiji’s development problems over the last thirty years- Fiji Developing, Volumes 1, 2, 3 and 4.  They will be useful not just to students and teachers of economics (as a reader on applied economic policy issues in Fiji) but also social leaders, Members of Parliament, journalists, researchers, donors, and any one else interested in Fiji’s development problems.

Volume 1:   The Challenges of Growing the Fiji Economy  (xxvii, 596 pp.) 2018.
