"I have found the book ... to be quite timely and useful. What this book uniquely offers is an incisive and comprehensive look at how economic transition, in this case, a service-led structural transformation, has affected a predominantly rural and agriculture economy. The book is organized in 21 contributed chapters and is systematically organized into seven sections. ... This book will surely benefit economists and researchers of countries whose structural transformation is still being designed." (Leonardo A. Lanzona, Jr., Millennial Asia, Vol. 7 (2), 2016)
