French Economy and the State
Modern France is often referred to as the "sick man of Europe." With attention focused on the all-pervasive role of the state, Mr. Baum makes a revealing diagnosis. He provides a full view into the structure and performance of the French economy, dealing first with government efforts to solve certain general problems: reconstruction of the economic system, controlling cycles of inflation and recession, and closing the large gap in the balance of payments. After discussing the state's traditional role of public financier and its less orthodox role as entrepreneur in the large sector of the economy now under public ownership, he shows how the state acts as a regulator of private enterprise in ...

The Consulting Profession in Developing Countries
The authors concluded that during the past two decades, the number of domestic consulting firms in developing countries has increased phenomenally. However, the quality of their performance has not kept pace with the growth in numbers. The policies and practices of government, internal weaknesses in staffing and management, and the lack of a supportive environment have prevented domestic consulting firms from effectively exercising the key role that they should in planning, designing, and implementing their countries' investment programs. The authors also point out that favorable opportunities for growth of the consulting profession exist, but a number of contraints will have to be overcome for those to be realized. The profession generally suffers from several structural weaknesses. It is characterized by a small number of large firms, mostly public enterprises, which dominate the business and, at the other end of the scale, a very large number of small or medium-size private firms, often in a precarious position. The recommended strategy for strengthening the domestic consulting is addressed to both the developing countries, and the World Bank and other donors.
Finance & Development, December 1985
This paper elaborates the introduction of surveillance that gave the IMF broader responsibilities with respect to oversight of its members’ policies than existed under the par value system. The IMF’s purview has been broadened under the new system but, by the same token, its members are no longer obliged to seek its concurrence in changes in exchange rates. The continuing volatility of exchange rates, and their prolonged divergence from levels that appear to be sustainable over time, have been matters of growing concern.
