Summary: "Why are Philippine taxes so high? Why do so many Filipinos feel they must work overseas to earn a decent wage? What can generate more jobs locally? How to balance economic growth and preserve the environment? And can the government do anything about oil price hikes? In these essays that originally appeared in the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper, former Philippine economic planning chief Dr. Cielito Habito answers these concerns and more. In simple language that demystifies the often arcane concepts of his profession, Dr. Habito provides "actionable information" on economic topics that affect the daily lives of Filipinos. Whether you're a student studying economics, a professional trying to make sense of Philippine economics, or a government policymaker trying to manage Philippine economics, this book is essential reading." --Amazon
