Description: From taming inflation in Latin America to the "catch up" economy of a rapidly growing China to the wealth disparity between Barbados and the author's native Jamaica, Henry shows how listening to the markets will lead to greater global prosperity.
Review Quotes: "Turnaround weaves together a medley of history and data.... Henry's interpretation of data can be illuminating."
--USA Today
--Booklist "Henry...show[s] how developing nations sometimes exhibit or are coerced into greater economic realism than G-8 countries.... [T]his readable volume...contains enough insight into global affairs and international economics to attract readers beyond universities and think tanks."
--Publishers Weekly "A concise and controversial statement of what needs to be overcome if the world economy is to return to the path of growth and stability."
--Kirkus Reviews "Peter Henry had the original thought that the experiences of 'emerging economies' may contain lessons for advanced economies. He shows that they do, but not in any crude cookie-cutter way. The vital common thread is the capacity to form a future-oriented policy and stick to it with discipline. This is why we--all of us--need grown-ups."
--Robert M. Solow, Nobel Laureate in Economics (1987)
