Foreign direct investment has been heralded as the key to Third World countries' economic growth. In this penetrating economic study, David Woodward looks exactly at the impact of FDIs. He assesses the scale of the flows involved, their systematic under-valuation and geographically skewed distribution, and their extremely high rates of return.
