Kazakhstan has faced severe economic challenges since it gained independence from the former Soviet Union in 1991. Kazakhstan's New Economy explores how the country might shed the outdated business practices that continue to hamper its growth. Jay Nathan first provides a historical overview of the economy and then delves deeper into the strengths and weaknesses of nine major industries, including oil and gas, banking, telecommunications, and transportation. Nathan's careful analysis and recommendations will provide valuable insight for anyone interested in Central Asia's economic growth.
