This book explores Bangladesh''s shift from a ''bottomless pit'' into a ''middle-income'' category. Six chapters in the book cover topics on microfinance growth, ready-made garment production, and social safety net programs playing pivotal roles particularly for women empowerment. In doing so, the book shows that the net effect was not just a change to the country''s limited number of representative brands, but also a realization of many more brands to have built up over time.
