Book Review: Dynamics of Rural Growth in Bangladesh: Sustaining Poverty Reduction

Author:Zulfa Kamal*

Abstract:
"Dynamics of Rural Growth in Bangladesh: Sustaining Poverty Reduction" is a 232-page book written by Madhur Gautum and Rashid Faruqee. Gautum Madhur was the Task Team Leader, and Rashid Faruqee was the Senior Advisor for a core-study team whose research was documented in this book, which was published under the World Bank Group in 2016. Gautum and Faruqee's book dwells on the development of the seemingly stagnant rural economy of Bangladesh. The book discusses how Bangladesh has undergone significant changes in economic development and has reduced poverty. However, the book is quick to note that the rural economy has been somewhat excluded from this development process. It is an untapped source of potential socio-economic development, which may largely contribute to Bangladesh's overall progress.
