“Windows on
the World Economy is a superb book for MBA’s or for undergraduate
classes
stressing the institutional, historical, and public policy aspects of
the international economic
environment. The text develops business examples that will be of real
interest to students.
Well-done.” -Jonathan Wright,
Associate Professor of Economics and International Studies,
Robins School of Business, University of Richmond.
"Windows on the World Economy is a rarity
among economics texts: it is both
entertaining
and informative, and both concise and comprehensive. This is the perfect book for a one-
semester course on international economics, for students in either
international relations,
business, or economics
majors, which covers all four areas of the field: trade,
production, finance, and
development." -Robert Blecker,
Professor of Economics,
American University.
