Rashed Al Mahmud Titumir is a professor in the Department of Development Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
“Rashed Al Mahmud Titumir's book, Fiscal and Monetary Policies in Developing Countries: State, Citizenship and Transformation, is a testimony on the role of fiscal and monetary policies in state-building in developing countries. An economist from an advanced economy may be perplexed by the argument that fiscal and monetary policies contribute to state-building, because conventional thinking limits the role of fiscal and monetary policies in state-building. The book has provided food for thought for those who are intrigued by the role of fiscal and monetary policies in state-building in developing countries. […] The book is a good read on the role of fiscal and monetary policies in state-building for scholars, students, policymakers and politicians.” — Bhim Bhurtel, Nepal Open University, Columnist, Asia Times, review appearing in UNESCAP.org 2023
